My Ideal Bike

My ideal bike as the name suggests is perfect in every way , thats the reason why i have been unable to add pictures . It is purely imaginative ideal concept .
It would not be a supercharged 1000cc hayabusa . My bike would be a tweaked out 100cc mid nineties model shogun . Here is what i mean by tweaked out .
A direct exhaust with the bore ported so the bike would be delivering somewhere around 120 horses at the opening of the throttle . i would couple it with a 5-speed manual gearbox just to keep the rider at the helm . It would be coupled with to the wheels with double chains (yes double chains). Plus I would ensure the bike is mild , light by shearing off all excess weight(there will not be any grab rails or engine guards) . i would cut the tail portion off , a small tail light behind the riders seat would be all , no indicators , battery .
Electrically it would have a dynamo and a headlight , taillight and spark plug . nothing more . This bike will probably have disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels . (ordinary drum brakes wont be able to rein in this beast) . And since the roads in India are far from perfect i will have to keep the shock absorbers . lightest in the category for my bike .
It wont be all that fun if it ran on ordinary gasoline would it ? i will tune the engine to run on nitromethane . Chances are 96 out of 100 times the engine will explode killing the rider(i never said i am gonna ride it) . But its a ideal power bike . Those 4 times when the engine does manage to keep itself together trust me no Hayabusa would ever stand a chance .
The rubber of course will be tubeless , aligned with alloy wheels to stand the heat and timid acceleration this bike will have . Please dont think i have not given attention to the aerodynamics . aerodynamic riding position wont be nessecary . we would run out of runway here in india if it was engineered to perfection(killing the rider if alive) .

P.S- i would love to work on such a bike . Anybody who thinks they can make useful contributions{read as money(cash) } are always welcome
