Can it be ridden, or is it for display?

Depending on the laminate and parts design it could be pretty functional. I don't think you'd want to do more than take it for a couple of laps around a track though.

On Sano's page there's a link titled "Race Results by Mr. Chomei and his Mahogany Bike No. 7 ". Looks like another mahogany bike was made in 2009 and was used in several races over ten years.
