That thing actually drives? I've seen it before, but my automagazine stated it was purely a concept-model, without beeing road-ready!

One thing though... if it has like 500+ HP, why the heck is it doing like 20 mph in the movie? And why isn't there any turn filmed? Or does this model only go straight?

Fozzer?  Grin

Ps: somehow the name wimp and this machine don't do each other justice!  Wink

That one's old!!! Was introduced a few years ago already... Rumours were that it had a theoretic top speed of 650KMH but I think those were slightly exagerated.. slightly.  funny thing though Grin

Hahahahahaha, that made me laugh. What a ridiculous design. I read the specs and it made me wet my pants. A lean angle of 45 degrees? Any bike in the hands of an experienced rider has a lean angle of 45 degrees. That's nothing special nor scary. Imagine riding this bike on all 4 wheels. No try to imagine how to get it from all four on two wheels (45 degree lean angle), sustaining that through the corner at a reasonable speed and get back at all four wheels again. I tell you, if you can do it, you must be God (no insults intended).

Why do you think motorbikes have two wheels in the first place? With more than two you can never steer it through a corner like a motorbike, it would behave like a car.

Just my opinion as an experienced motorbike rider.

As a matter of fact, yes I did crash a few times. Nothing serious and never on public roads. Only on racetracks during training or races.

BTW. I don't see why I got burned since my screenname has nothing to do with riding only with the way I use to fly the sim. End of discussion.

Well this one is going to see the road a lot quicker and it's got 2 extra cylinders (ok it's a trike so it's got an extra wheel as well)
