Sorry, gang, but THAT looks UNCOMFORTABLE as hell. I’ll bet you couldn’t do more than 20 miles holding your head up at that angle to your body before you’d have to stop and take a break — and get a massage.

Very cool, but clearly not practical — BUT WHO CARES????!!! :)

But I don’t know what amazes me more: The mind(s) that came up with the design or the one(s) that did the build.

Real talent always leaves me in awe. Be it art, music, engineering, cooking, mathematics, chip design, OS, etc. I always wish I had such talent and the wherewithal to use it.

I’d ride it... and maybe the motorcycle, too.

The title says it’s street legal but all the video shows is it coasting across the parking lot. I want to see a video of it on the interstate before I’m convinced it’s more that a $55k door stop.

A guy would look like a moron riding that thing. All I can think of is large gauge ear piercings when I look at that.

I like the idea of the multifunction LCD display.

All my bikes have the traditional boiler gauges, and its time for bikes to take a hint from the glass cockpit..

The fiberglass covers on each side of the wheels won’t let that bike lean over but a few degrees before you are peeling off the fiberglass or yourself from the pavement. If you tried to put your knees to the ground on a hard turn you would transfer the force from the tire rubber to the fiberglass cowling. Ouch.

It does look cool but this ex motorcycle racer would take a pass....

Behold, I am King of the Nerds, and I have not these "Tron fantasies" of which you speak, nor do I think much of this over-priced PR stunt.

Be gone.

Leave the girl.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Why wasn’t he wearing the glowy Tron suit?

Looks like driving on a pair of barrels i.e. clumsy.

It’s cool looking but I think I’ll get a pocket full of quarters and play the game in the arcade as I did when the first movie came out.
Although, I bet with the amount of money I put in that machine back then I probably would have the money to buy one of these now.

Not bad.
I'd still like to see them make Kaneda's motorcycle from Akira:
