Dat' shit be crazy.

Really..it is

Peryn · 09-19-2003, 07:14 AM

For it to be considered a motorcyle they have to, and are going to, reduce it to three wheels. I believe they are gonna put a fat front tire on, rather than two skinny ones. The two in teh back are there to maximize traction. On turns, rather than riding on the outside of one tire, the back two are independant. This way, the height on one goes up, the other down. This makes the bike tilt, while still keeping most of the tread across the face of each tire on the ground. A kinda brilliant design, though it took me a while to understand it. Someone posted this a month or so ago that had a movie where they went around the bike and explained a lot of its features, then took it for a little test drive. Im too lazy, but im sure someone will search and post a link.

Theres a little movie that explains some more about the vehicle. It looks to be a sweet machine, cant wait to see it on the road (lol, i wish) Only complaint right now is it looks to be the mot uncomfortable seating position ever if your on it longer than a lap or two around the track...

Scorps · 09-19-2003, 09:35 AM

I think that is the stupidest thing ever made.

soccerchamp76 · 09-19-2003, 06:56 PM

Theoreticla top speed of over 300+ (might even be 400) miles per hour. I dunno if anyone woudl be crazy enough to take a motorcycle out at 300 mph though

RotEx · 09-19-2003, 07:00 PM

that bike cannot be ridden for more than about 45 seconds...

if you notice

they still havent figured out a cooling system for it yet :P

i saw it at the detroit autoshow and this is what one of the reps told me

Peryn · 09-19-2003, 07:49 PM

Wrong. About 2 minutes into the movie, they show you the cooling system. Right behind the fuel tank is a fan. It sucks in air and blows it across a couple radiators in the side/top of the bike under the plastic. The fan is right under teh intake flaps, above teh tank. Its hard to see, but once you know what to look for, i THINK you can kinda see it in teh above pictures.

If im not mistaken, they have almost half of teh production (if they make it, it willl be very limited) sold. They haven'y taken money, but the list is half filled with pre-qualified people or companys ready and willing to buy. It wouldn't surprise me if it did go to produciton, its not like it wouldn't make money or wouldn't sell...
