If you've been following along, Pointless was built to make a point and possess meaning, and also to defy the literal definition of the word. Lots of points have been integrated into this bike-how many, we'll soon let you know. From the triple-trees to the foot controls, sharp ends pop up almost everywhere. Even the exhaust covers maintain the points theme that is seen throughout the bike. The rear points of the swingarm house both the brake lights and turn signals.
While much of building Pointless was never an easy task for the crew, in the end the key to making the bike work wasn't just in the details. "It's how everything works together to bring another Tempest creation into existence," Erick said. So just how many points did Tempest make? Figuratively speaking, we'll let you decide, but in mathematical terms, 23 and counting.
