To Lexus F Sport Road Bike, is the latest creation of the LFA Works is sold exclusively in Japan at a cost of 1,000,000 yen (€ 7.700).
The bike has 22 speeds, carbon frame, paddles shift inspired by the world of Formula 1 and an electronically-controlled derailleur shift system for smoother shifts.
The Lexus‘ decision to build a bike is perplexing but the company appears to be doing it as a stop-gap measure to keep Lexus LFA Works open until while a more practical purpose can be found.
