Jay Leno has one. I quite like the idea of a camera instead of mirrors.

Styled by a blind man with a pair of tin snips!

No doubt it'll have ridiculous gyroscopic effects and thus be impossible to turn. The flat rear tyre would indicate this is so.

A very good case of "just becasue we can doesn't mean we should"

yeah, and i bet there's nowhere to bungee your panniers on

ffs, it's not mean to be a practical economical commuter

it's a motorcycle with a helicopter turbine engine in it, therefore by it's very existence it ranks at least 6 fonzies on the awesome scale

I remember reading the stats on this bike and IIRC it was slightly slower to 150mph than a modern IL4 thou.
