Progress update on the Hawk - Designed and modeled by myself.

About the "Hawk"
It's small, it's lightweight, and it's coming to a showroom near you.
Powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc engine, with a redline of 10,000rpm, 120RWhp and a theoretical top speed of 233 kilometers per hour. Wearing three 19inch lightweight alloy wheels equiped with twin rear and front disc brakes, you wont have any problems stopping in a hurry.
Fiberglass outer shell and alloy chassis give you the aerodynamics needed to acheive the level of performance you expect from a roadbike, with the comfort of a car. The interior is a combination of moulded plastic and leather trim, with digital dials giving you the vital information about your vehicle.
So pick up your phone today, and call 555-it's not a real number.
Callers within the next five minutes will receive a complimentary set of steak knives. So what are you waiting for?
the rear tire would wear down around corners unless it were on a 'trolley' like system where it could turn to match its ideal angle during the vehical's rotation.
also, wouldn't it be more efficient to put the driving power on the front tyers?, using the rear wheel as the 'stearing wheel' would ensure it didn't wear prematurely, and you'd get more direct energy transfer from the crank to the(front) wheels.(i dunno about efficiency on this part but i think you'd need a diff, but not CV joints, seeing as the front wheels wouldn't be turning)

Hmm...what about safety precautions? I mean if I was driving down the street at 233km/hour, how safe would I be if something unexpected happened?
