CSA Blurred Sliver
The Blurred Sliver is Custom Styled Automotives latest
addition to the pursuit of going fast in style. This beautifully crafted racing
cycle is constructed out of an ultralight, ultrastrong titanium alloy. The
unparalleled flexibility of this alloy allows the highly efficient application of smart
material principles. Also, it allows the Sliver's body to be reconfigured into a
variety of different forms to suit the tastes of its owner. The
reconfiguration process only takes a handful of days to complete. The major forms
range from a standard recumbent to a fair imitation of a classic Harley.
Though the Blurred Sliver was originally meant to be a pure sports
machine it has started becoming very popular as a fast break away vehicle with stylish
riggers on the streets. This is due to its high speed and relative legal
availability. Also, it is due to the fact the the Blurred Sliver's reconfigurable
profile can be very useful for sneaking past unwary opponents. These factors make
many urban road warriors consider the Blurred Silver worth the exorbent price.

The Blurred Sliver can be reconfigured into several varied forms in a matter of days by removing the engine and several other major parts and then allowing the body which is composed of smart materials to warp itself into a new shape. This procedure takes a base time of 72 hours. It requires a Build/Repair success against a target number of 6. Extra successes may be used to reduce to time The process also requires a Structural Agility Programming Module (Cost: 5000Y. Availability 48 hours/5. Street Index 2.)
Note: Astute readers will notice that the Handling should be -1 instead of 1. I changed this because A) A handling of -1 would be impossible and B) I thought that it was logical considering inefficiencies in the Structural Agility system caused by the potential for reconfiguration.
