I'd like to get a sound clip of this thing motoring with that Hayabusa engine.

The road legal and insurable questions are first in my mind.  How can this thing possibly be certified for general road use?

I'm not complaining because I'd love to see boutique and specialist vehicles made in small quantities by local manufacturers all over the place.   But can I buy this or something like it and drive it every day?

If so, it opens up a whole new universe of options but I really doubt the Magnum can bypass the crash tests etc to be classified as a general road vehicle. 

Cheers,
John M.
