    Who'd you buy it off. I believe they are fairly new to the market (cause I've only seen them in the dealers, not on the road), so if you bought it new, what about the dealer?
    Normally when you buy a bike on finance they insist on insurance so maybe finance it................ for a day! Then they'll come up with something.
    If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs.........it's quite possible you haven't grasped the situation.

    TSS, and yes they're working on it.

    I don't finance toys. But if I did that simply puts the barrier one step closer.

    Compared to what?

    More sophistocated technology than a 1k sprotsbike, and there's more of it for about the same price.

    Cheaper than a trike-kitted Harley or 1200 touring bike, and it actually has some claims to reasonable performance (0-100km/h in 4.5 sec with higher cornering speeds than a roadbike).


    More to the point, in this particular case it fills a market nothing else does.

    did this market need to be filled my question is how many of these will be sold to non biker riders ie just a full car lience ? with no bike training i know they not the same as a bike but shurly it would be similar and wen that person crashes bikes get the bad rap? just my .02c you can probally tell i dont really like em

    My guess is a lot of them will be sold to people who can't ride bikes. I'm aware of at least two that've been sold to experienced bikers with injuries that prevent them riding.

    As far as riding experience goes I can tell you that the last thing you want on one of these is pre-learned bike reactions. It does my head in, the initial shape-up for a corner is totally wrong and I can't stop grabbing for the front brake.

    Just because both cars and bikes have evolved to quite a narrow spec' doesn't mean there's not viable alternatives, dude. And if one of them crashes the blame lies with exactly the same person as applies to anything else: the pilot.
