Sticky
You're gonna need some really sticky stuff on your butt or you'll slide right off the back. Probably capable of over 250 mph so you probably gonna need sticky hands too. LOLYou can't stay young forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life...

K, been thinking bout this.. fast forward 30 years..
Its still gonna look cool but imagine this thing with a puddle of fluids underneath it in a mall parking lot, and a handfull of teenagers on "real" crotch rockets. Flying by laughing at that old ground vehicle.. I can see it now.. "Hey old man what do you think you are Tron?" hehe.. Sorry but I have to work on my stuff far to much to think about what you have to go thru to remove that one piece looking body. Where am I supposed to put a sandwich on there?XS1100 F/G (79 Bike/80 Motor)

You have to realize that most of the people even my age (30) have never heard of Tron. I actually just watched it on cable a couple of weeks ago, and my wife thought I was crazy.
I would imagine that the kids 30 years in the future would definitely not use Tron as a reference...

Wow
Looking at the other pics it kinda looks like some sort of hydrostatic drive.
The rotors runing along the perimeter of rim look neat, probably run cooler but might be easier to warp???Ernie

I don't think any owner is going to be tearing off that "fuselage" to work on it. The question other people were asking was....Where's the windshield? And with that solid seat this is truely made for the ironbutts!!
They also say it has fighter jet grips and fittings on it.1980G Standard, Restored

That picture looks an awful lot like a computer graphic image.
The light is coming from the wrong direction for starters. Second... the auto looks to have been shot in a barren sandy environment yet the bike has reflections of trees in the finish. Plus it looks as though there are no real "hard" light shadows on the bike at all.
Looks like it is a drawing from one of the design drafting programs.
Took a look around and found...

The V4 engine in the other pix looks real enough. Now is it a prototype or are they going to produce it is the big question. Google didn't turn up anything useful...
If the seat were leather I don't see how it would be any slipperier than other seats but it sure could use a step in it to help the rider hold a riding position.

My google turns up this link talking about digital mock-ups. I guess that is yet anoteehr step removed from actually being a prototype.Ken TalbotComment
