Perhaps slightly more complicated than it need to be, this bike is still pretty damn impressive.  A racing ready superbike the first recumbent of its kind.  Be warned, the bike is a very tight fit, and can get uncomfortable fast and will give claustrophobics a screaming fit.  The bike can be ridden with the canopy open, but that increases the wind resistance drastically, lowering top speed by 60mph and dropping the maneuverability down another point rating.
