I'd buy one...
And then I saw the price and I wouldn't buy one.
I'd keep my B-King that I don't have yet and buy 6 or 7 other bikes with that money.
It is a motorcycle - give that the wheels are up when it is at running speed. Also, if it isn't classified as a motorcycle - it would never be permitted to ride on the roads as a car - given crash safety standards.

Paint it black and knock about 65 grand off the price, then they might be on to something. I'd be interested to see how the stabilizers work. And if you think it's heavy now Rhadam wait 'till you attach the optional A/C unit.

I'd buy it if it were 20K and black. I mean I was willing to pay (if I had the cash) 15 to 18K for a Can-Am Spyder.
The only problem with the AC unit - it weight the bike over to one side, I bet...

If it shifts the weight to one side, what happens when the compressor kicks on & off I wonder?
I'd still love one - but for free. Although, kids can't fall off . . .

Most of my co-workers think my bike is a coffin on wheels...

Mmhmmm... so how exactly would one get that thing upright if it were to go down in a turn?
So these are the things that auto companies are spending their money on to build, instead of reasonable cars and trucks with good gas mileage. Psh.

id give it a shot if someone offered me a ride,
the one advantage to it is I could ride to work in me suit in all weather conditions and put product in my hair before i left home.
As it now on a convential bike I have to carry all that dodo to work, get unchanged then get changed again, iron my fuking shirt, do my hair...all before i start work...THEN I get to do it all over again to go home !!!!
I see this as sliding right into my life style, id use it as a commuter. Also, i like the idea of tinting the windows in it and riding naked.
BUT
The 75k US is definatley a hurdle for me
the chief cook and bottle washer (me wife) would deny me sweet loving for a very very long time if i spent our hard earned on that.....hmmmmmm, would that be so bad ???? yeah that would be bad

A new definition for riding naked - or just a return to godiva's ride? Are you protesting something?
It reminds me of a British commercial about people seeing riders - and there are a bunch of naked people riding motorcycles... And an awkward moment on where one rider stores his EZ pass equivalent.
