Saw this interesting wee piece on a Russian concept waiting to spring forward.
I just have one question;

Would you be that keen on having a bike that took over for you?
For example, what if the auto-brakes were applied mid-turn?

I wondered where Igor went after Victor's castle was burnt down.

Oddly, I like the design styling of this bike. But then again the Russians have always had a different take on "looks". At least they can get the position of the indicator & horn buttons in the right place (vfr1200), eh Mr Honda?

The main complaint is that if the bike is being made by Izhmash, where is the bloody machinegun fitted???

Traction control is bad enough in the cage... Cutting power when needed, is not a good look.
