Some very interesting ideas from Mario Ricciardiello
There are indeed some interesting ideas here. If the front suspension mounting points were fitted with offset bushings, the whole front end would have adjustable rake... not something that is easily accomplished with a standard USD front suspension.

Also, the pushrod setup in the front is simply really cool! The idea is similar to the vyrus design since it uses a link directly from the pivoting arm to transmit compressive forces to the shock (under compression). The execution is slightly different, since there is no swingarm.

Carbon forks. drool.

I understand the purpose of the billet elbow sticking up out of the front of the bike, but I don't see how that's going to fit under fairings. (if that's what they are planning)

Either way, thanks for posting up a cool bike YG!
