The ultimate in bike design?

That looks kinda cool, and not tooooo dated either.

Gonna be alot of suspension travel with that much ground clearance

Actually getting to try one of these puppies out would be enough without advancing anything on the design apart from the engine (the original powerplant is a 88' GSX-R750). Two wheel drive, two wheel steer, gyroscope controlled pivoting seat. It was way ahead of it's time in 1988 and even today there haven't been many bold enough to get close to it

You'd need to get some leathers that looked like this though...

Ideal for the local TRON convention huh though the grid elimination game would be interesting

As an enthusiast, I think the biggest problem with modern high-performance sport bikes is their sophistication. Which is ironic given that it is also their biggest advantage!!

I would personally love to have a modern high-performance sports bike that would still be rideable in 25 years time. However I don't think that is likely to be possible. The advances in engineering science and technology mean that modern high-performance bikes have become almost irreparable.

Of course you can replace broken parts in a modern bike, but very often you cannot repair the broken back to the original factory specifications. Once the parts for a particular model get hard to find (and this will happen eventually) then the bike's owner will be screwed.
