Clarkson did a piece about it on an old show, Motorworld I think.

Also Evo (a carrist rag) have done a piece on it this month.

It's an EcoMobile. Think it had a BMW K100 drive train. Anyway, Clarkson can tell you all about it - linky.

Bikes have too short a wheelbase? Yewhat?

Looks awful from the front. Don't think i'd want to filter on one either. An old video tho - JC looked, well sort of... young.

Being enclosed in a cabin on 2 wheels just sounds like a nightmare. I think you'd be too disconnected from the outside to accurately judge things like cornering traction in the wet.

Looks like a later version of a swiss bike made a few years ago,great for swiss m/ways but good on corners as well.easy to flick up if you dropped it.think the makers wife was in it on the road test i saw.
A special one was being designed a few years ago 200 in 20 secs an top 450 k,dunno if it got built.

IIRC they used 2 of them as police bikes in a film in 1991, so an at least 19 year old design.
oh the film was, Until the end of the world. (great sound track) BTW.
