That thing looks like something out of an anime dystopia.

In a high speed corner, the rider leans the bike into the turn, countersteering all the way. But, does this technology try to correct for the lean? Cause, that could be bad.

Having been a victim of “stability control” & “traction control” forcibly idling my engine, not allowing me to recover control on frozen snow, I can foresee this erroneously kicking in at highway speeds...say on the Dragon’s Tail.

Yup, he was upright all the way down, until he hit that tree...

Learning how to control the bike at low speeds will make you a better high speed rider. If you don’t develop low speed skills you put yourself in greater danger in real traffic situations.

Yeah, the technology is impressive, but it is possible to do too much for the rider. The less you have to think....the less you think.

I’m just not sure that their ‘stability system’ (training wheels) on my Harley would look very cool. Probably would have to grow old alone.

No wonder it won’t tip over.
It has training wheels.

At first I thought they invented training wheels. Then I read the article. Lol.

Oh boy, more totally over engineered vehicles...And they’ll want the big bucks for that over engineering.

The Advanced Motorcycle Stability Assist System (AMSAS) is being developed to assist riders at low speeds.

What a load of cow flop. If a motorcyclist has trouble at low speeds, it's a real good idea they use a car instead.

Motorcycles, guns, submarines, and parachutes are supposed to be things that punish the smallest mistakes all out of proportion to their cause. I’ve done them all except submarines.

If it will balance by itself, why do they have it on a stand to keep it from falling over?

Sources say the North Carolina department of transportation laid of 1500 workers because the Japanese developed a shovel that can stand by itself.

They’re late to the party. BMW developed similar technology way back in 2016.
