That is one awesome looking bike! I love when the engine is in the frame instead of part of the frame
I think those are crash bars, not the frame.
Interesting. I just assume every bike has the engine as a stressed member because its probably cheaper that way, but makes sense to have a full frame on a bike that's expected to see any sort of adverse condition.
