"The basic fundamentals of motorbike design have remained pretty much the same over the last 50 years, but that could change if the Sharker ever lands in a showroom. While most cars switched to monocoque construction back in the '60s or '70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework.
The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness."

amazing . the vespa was a redesigned motorcycle from the ground up by an engineer not tangled in traditional motorcycle design . this thing should be something like that to be at least good - but it's not . ugly , no wind protection , no crash protection , completely impossible to maintain (monocoque design is good for way bigger weights) so this is not what I'm looking for . any maxiscooter could eat it at any level .
