That's a scary gas tank location. It's like a Ford Pinto on meth.

For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Oh my god I didn’t even process what that was at first. NOOOOOOOOOO.
Only meth? I'm willing to bet some PCP was involved
Um. Doesn’t petrol eat through plastic eventually?
Polystyrene? Yes. That bucket is probably HDPE or something like that though which wouldn’t react to gas. Most modern car gas tanks are some form of high density plastic.
Ok thanks. So not any kind of plastic.
Yeah, I was surprised the first time I saw a plastic gas tank (it was on the ground outside an auto repair shop). I just assumed they were usually made out of metal.

Great gas mileage if you don't mind the road noise
WHAT?
If that back wheel rotated freely it would be a dope drift machine. Just mash the gas whenever you get too sideways

ok but is this safer than a regular motorbike during a collision?
No, because there's a plastic fuel bucket right behind the driver's seat
