The production model will have a complete Velcro suit and matching Velcro tank pad. The rider will wear special gloves designed to be lashed to the handlebars. The foot pedals will include special ski bindings to keep the feet in place.
The marketing pitch will be:
"The two of you will become one....'til death do you part."

This thing can't go on the public streets and was never intended to. It has 3" clearance without a rider.

I'll stick with something that can actually corner. :)

I briefly saw a shot of a motorcycle with a very unusual front wheel. The wheel was stationary and the tire ran in some sort of track around the periphery of the 'wheel'. I saw this in a 'flash' on one of those Discovery channel ads and never saw the actual show. Wish I could find out more about it.
I am aware of experimental vehicles consisting of a single wheel in which the driver sits; I've seen a couple of concepts. This idea appears to adapt the rolling rim to a cycle (the one I saw, that is)...

So let me get this strait. You pay $200,000 so some German engineer can kill you.

I have 34-year-old "road rash" on my back to show why only young men would think about riding this type of death machine. I guess at 50-something I am still young! Gimme one.
