What amazes me is how much effort is being put into making motorcycles behave and feel less and less like actual motorcycles.

Two more wheels, a steering wheel and air conditioning and they might just have something there.

I thought those were helmets?  Actually this is a pretty old piece of video. It was made back when Jeremy Clarkson still had hair and could see his feet. I haven't heard anything about them since. Can't say I'm surprised. Looks to me like the worst of both worlds. |

Granted i own a I/S. It has a windshield and all other stuff found on I/Ss except a C B radio. Even with the W/S i still feel the wind in my face the smell of the fields or city or-h3ll ya'll get it.  I have a cage for stuff that i can't fit on the Valkyrie.  Last night my daughter had 2 of her friends over that i took home. Cage time. Even with that enclosed what ever it is i needed the cage to transport those young ladies. IF someone gave me one i MIGHT try it out. Thase of us that don't mind picking bugs out of our teeth and facial hair-well i won't speak for any one else-but i really don't see it working here in the U S of A.  RIDE SAFE. |

I saw one of these at a car show. You have to deploy the outriggers manually.... I can't remember to turn off my turn signal half the time.  |

how long have they been around? I think I saw one at a BMW rally in Vermont back in '06. I don't know how to explain BMW riders.... they are a different breed I like'm just fine, and when they come to town for a rally they bring CA$H! this was their yearly event bcak in '06, when the towns folk hear that 7-8 thousand bikers are heading their way, they almost freak. then when the BMW folks are packing up they ask "when are you coming back?" "never" they pick a different town almost everytime |
