Lean to the right, it will turn right.
Lean left, it will turn left.

How in heck does he steer the damn thing????............. It looks like the handlebars connect to the forks that connect to the linkage at 6:00 on the front wheel. That's the logical place for them to attach, because that's where the gyroscopic forces generated by the front wheel would be strongest.

“this is art, it isn't an actual useable motorcycle.”
I think you're right (I couldn't know, as I am not a motorcyclist), but it does have a striking appearance, doesn't it. Sort of Sci-Fi, like the cycles in “Tron”.

Belt like on a snowmobile?................... So the belt is also the rear tire? Interesting, although it would bring a lot of dirt and debris into the (presumably delicate) linkage mechanics.

It’s got to be hot sitting right behind that air cooled engine.

But when you go on your last ride, you will go looking good.

And one of the best aspects of a motorcycle (the hot blonde riding on the back behind you) has been totally eliminated.

Interesting technology
Don’t think it well be replacing my duel sport any time soon.
One never knows what such innovation could lead to.
To: C19fan
No clearance for speed bumps or driveways.
No headlights or tail lights.

I thing it may be the rear tire is contacted by the belt and spun that way. They don’t say, and the video doesn’t show................

With the mounting point at ground level, that ride must surely sucketh.
And I bet the turning radius is around infinity.

Looks like a flat 6 rather than the V6 mentioned in the story. Is it flat, or a really, really shallow V?

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I don’t know if it’s practical, but it is cool.
I like the big torque converter on the front of the engine.

The wheels are fixed to the base of the rim giving the motorcycle the appearance that it is 'floating' on the road. It looks great but I can see a great deal of wear between the fixed rim and the rotating tires.
There's going to be a lot of dirt and ground-up asphalt particle build-up between the rims and tires. Lots of wear and tear.
It will require extra maintenance.
But it does look cool.
To: Red Badger
that is the ugliest thing i ever saw...not counting rosie o’donnell.
