Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

I was returning home yesterday afternoon feeling tried after a hard early shift at work, when this strange looking bike travelling like a missile was heading towards me. You dont see many of these(or they maybe many about) on our roads.http://www.mi4m.com/wp-content/uploa...er-image-4.jpg Has anyone seen them about this year. Searching the net they they cost an absolute fortune. Looked great in black.

Nope ... looks great in an Audi R8 kinda way !!

What is it ??

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Thats swearing that is.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Thats what I call a bike for winter.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

You must see the same one as me as I saw a black one in Stevenage a few months back.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Looks like bmw running gear to me.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Yeah, I'd agree .... and you wouldn't one of those chain driven....

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

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

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Must be the same one, saw this in Toddington,very frightening when appearing from the mist at high speed.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

£50,000 for one thats a lots, looks fun ride/drive thou

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

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.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

it must be a pain to park :rolleyes:

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Bikes have too short a wheelbase? Yewhat?

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

There was a red one around here for a few dys early summer.
Oh and Lucas - has anyone tild you your avatar looks just lika a **** at one point in its sequence?
Don't change it.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

too much fairing for my liking

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

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.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

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.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

Blimey , reminds me of those dodgy Quasar things I saw knocking about in the 80`s

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

i saw one of these going up the m1 on friday near mk, i was going south but it still caught my eye from the other side!! looks precarious

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

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.

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
 

OK, one stupid question on this one..

What happens when you want to stop?

It looks like you cant put your foot down:confused:

Re: Anyone seen this on our roads????
