Most people wouldn't know this, but the bike used in the photos was originally developed for the video for the song "Take On Me," popularized by the band A-Ha in the mid '80s...
The bike was never used in the video, however, as it was determined that riding a motorcycle with a sidecar would ultimately make the lead singer's hair poof out more. Also, one would also have to assume that it's somewhat cooler to have your ass kicked by a motorcycle gang rather than a pack of roadies decked out in spandex.
How the guys at Folk managed to get their hands on this rare prototype sketch bike I'll never know...
