I cannot forbear to respond : any rider of that most illustrious and renowned marque , the Spagthorp. More specifically, the famous Spagthorp Wheezehound Continental, specifically designed for maritime touring.

Fuller details of that truly great example of Briddish engineering may be found here by the curious.

Or, of course Ms Fish. Though I fear Mr Suzuki's efforts will fall far short of those of the Spagthorp.

So you'd need a commode-type attachment to draw in the power source?

It could be called the Po-Ped!

What a stink idea

You would need full wet tyres under water I suppose.

Be very afraid of the Indian commandos riding air bikes invading us!

coming to a dairy near you!

I used to have a model airplane that ran on air... It was shit.
This is also shit because it's most likely using energy from fossil fuels, converted to electricity, then to compressed air and then to motion. None of the conversions are ever 100% efficient, so you're probably less efficient than a normal internal combustion engine anyway, and you're going a shitload slower, with a tiny range...

People always go for the most practical solution before they go for green one. Untill something becomes at least as practical (as far as speed, range and "recharge" time goes) as an internal combustion engine powering a car/motorbike we'll still be burning dinosaurs.

Well the dinosaurs are dead so I dont think they really give a toss either way...

I could see how they would be keen on a bike like this....... NOT!

Thermal imaging wont see the bike.......maybe!

But it sure will see the poor prick on it who's trying to make his getaway at the neck breaking speed of 18kms/hr.

Hahaha at that speed any good sniper would have time for a cuppa and a chat on the phone with his dear old mum before making the shot.

Hahahahaha

How fast did the first car go mate?
