Not sure that I'd be very happy, OK deeply unhappy, with an outfit doing the same thing on or off road.
Having tried an NSR 400 in a one of Robins wasp chassis and an RE Interceptor with a chair I am able to conclusively say that the three wheels experience is almost exclusively brown adrenaline based.
The NSR when it hit the power band especially so.
