I don't see anything in that design that would make me think it wouldn't handle well, or would handle strangely. The bodywork is boxy, sure, but that doesn't have anything to do with the handling. It's just a standard old trellis-framed V-twin bike. With a fancy name and weird bodywork.
It has the rake angle of a Harley and is about a mile long. It will handle like a cruiser not a sportsbike so calling it a superbike is not exactly accurate.
It's a cruiser with a sportsbike engine

Agreed. I don't look at this thing and think "superbike" though. I see a cruiser. So I guess I Was judging based on that perception - it would handle just as well as any other cruiser does.
Calling this thing a "superbike" is more than a stretch.

Hyper-Bike, maybe? I think it looks great for what it is.
Not feeling it here. Looks like something from a stylist's napkin drawing made real, without much regard for function. Not a sportbike obviously due to the geometry, but not a cruiser either due to the stretched out, cafe' style ergos. It's something to look cool and exclusive on. No doubt it'll haul @ss in a straight line, but again it'll be compromised due to the lack of a fairing. If there's a better example of form over function out there, I'd like to see the candidate. Confederate springs to mind...
Just something wrong with a Lotus that sucks in the corners. Colin would not approve!
