I like the M-hull. It eats it's own bow wave.

It is tall and narrow, so the trailer should be too. Horse box?

The exhaust pipes are wasteful though. Not even functional.
I am not sure, if you have horses or a cyclist or whatever trying to brake a speed record, the last thing you want is exhaust in their faces.

Oh, that 3rd headlight, helps to not be colorblind. Kinda illegal in most municipalities for being too high.

Call it a driving light and put a cover on it when you go into town?

There is a Statute in MN that says motorcycles must not have more than two headlights. Almost every em effing cruiser bike has three.
Do they call them fog lights but how can that be when they are always on? Or they- manufacturers, dealers, owners, cops- either don't know of the Statute or don't care... another law on the books that is selectively enforced. :/

EDIT: I looked up the Statute(s) to be sure and they changed it in 2015 such that motorcycles must have a minimum of one or a maximum of four. In 1957 it was made the law that bikes have one or two. It only took 'em 58 years to catch on.

I distinctly remember being puzzled by all the triple-headlighted bikes prior to 2015. Maybe my inquiry to the Highway Patrol had an effect???
