I dont see how that would work...

Having a background in design and construction (... not really, but I played with Lego A LOT) I noticed that having two tires so close together gave things really bad balance.... so at any speed at all, steering would cause the entire thing to flip over...

secondly, although many people claim otherwise, the weight of the person on the motorcycle still greatly affects the steering of a bike.... with a thing like this, the rider wouldnt make any noticable difference to the weight distribution...

I think it doesnt exist.... and if it does... I think it wouldnt work properly...

I've seen video of the guy riding it and it does work, in a straight line at least, and the suspension was so soft it pogo'd every time be blipped the throttle. Still looked pretty awesome though.

Looking at the add its a concept showboat and who knows there are states in america that have roads without bends in them maybe thay are designed for them.

is that the "bike" with the 8 litre V10 and the 13 litre petrol tank??

I think it is.......would have to make sure the cafes you wanted to pose in front of were close together.

My eldest son thinks the Dodge Viper is the dogs danglies, and now wants a bike with a Viper engine

I tried to explain that a postie bike would pass him on the first corner, but him being 10, the information washed over him without effect.
