[Lurch]

lol, that thing would handle like a damp turd.

[hayd3n]

wtf? it needs less wheels and a bigger motor

[Laava]

The transition from 2 wheels rear to 2 wheels front would be interesting if you hit a pothole or summat!

[DarkLord]

Um......

The first thing I thought when I saw it kinda sitting upright with the dude in it, is that people who rode/wore that thing would be in danger of taking stones/birds etc to the balls.... :confused:

[Mental Trousers]

It's a jet pack .... but with wheels.

[p.dath]

So when the person is leaning forward to go fast there is nothing between them and the road surface. I think it would be much safer if the person was on top of it, not underneath it.

[steve_t]

It looks tiring to ride/wear. I'd also be worried about copping a stone or bird in the nuts. I guess ATGATT could include a cricket box or codpiece of some kind :shutup:

[Number One]

Ugly as sin....bet the poser who owns the segway up my way would be keen on it...

Give me a 'two wheeled' normal bike anyday!

[tamarillo]

fanbloodytastic...bring it on. at least it project a fun future!

[bogan]

fuck i'd give it a hoon, with plenty of safety gear and no other vehicle around :bleh: the sensation of speed in that dive mode would be epic, and if it 'lean' steers as well, all the moar awesome!

[onearmedbandit]

I'll take one. Sure I'll keep my other bikes for the real biking experience, but that thing would be nuts (pun unintended) in full lean mode.

[imdying]

Gimme gimme gimme! That thing is cooler than penguin piss!

[Banditbandit]

When I first saw it I thought - Dear God NO! Then I watched the video and thought "fuck that'd be fun ... "

Like to try one .. but probably wouldn't own one.

[AllanB]

Interesting concept, however other than not falling over on it's own what is the advantage or benefit of the design. I don't see any real improvement over the existing two-wheeler or the existing Can-Am design for a 3 wheeler (they can kick arse!).

Looks like some type of space landing travel thingy.

And how are you meant to get your knee down?

[Number One]

And how are you meant to get your knee down?

Easy just kneel! Might require new knee slider designs though

[slofox]

The gixxer feels like a body suit anyway...

[gatch]

I'd give it a go, but I'd be wearing my leathers, several layers of bubble wrap and a full medieval suit of armor just in case..

[Nutter34]

Interesting idea. BUT...

IF you were to be in an accident, you're a gonner... You'd be hitting head first.

ACC would like that.

[Laava]

Hasn't been designed by a motorcyclist.
Look at that aprilia moto6.5 thingo designed Phillipe Starck. He should stick to designing espresso machines yah?

[JudaBaker]

It would be pretty cool having one just to ride around a race track, going full click through a corner with nothing between you and the pavement but air would be something else..
