An artist's (mis)conception no less.

I think you'll find it is a real bike, Jobst, pictured in the metal.
Or rather in the carbon. It's used almost exclusively for track
racing, though.

I've seen a bike with even more restricted steering, although to be
fair the rider did Crash Horribly and inflict major road rash on his
arse - but that was mainly because he clipped someone else's wheel at
speed. The rider in question being one Mr Burrows.
