Dave Akhurst's Greenfly.

The world's first LPG motorcycle.

Quote:

This is a heavily modified Yamaha XT500 that runs on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). There is a pressurized tank between your legs waiting to blow your nuts off if it gets punctured. The 500cc single still uses a kick-start but it's also designed with some very special touches, such as a belt drive, single sided swingarm, single-sided front fork and rims that detach from the star-shaped hub to make tire changes literally a five-minute job. The Greenfly carries a spare rim (complete with tire) in front of the engine.
