Somehow I doubt this bike is going to inspire much loyalty or devotion:
See what I mean?

Looks like it would be fun for scooting around the farm or the beach. They should put the motor on an ATV. Hunters would like it a great deal for its stealth.

It would never work in London - the drivers there would kill these riders. Out in the shires, maybe.
But the whole thing of there only being 1 hydrogen station is a bit much to contend with.

Just figured it was one of those things Brits do and we never understand because we are Americans.
So I just ignored it:-)

Ya, I was about to highlight that myself...

Well I just had to ask.
I've taken apart a bunch of different and old computers and never seen one that had a cooling fan belt in it.
Now a tape drive belt yes but not a cooling fan belt.

No mention of the price. As I understand it, fuel cells are very expensive.

Unless they are trying to say it is so quiet that it makes as much noise as something that does not exist...

This is perfect for SAS and SEALs that need "stealth" for covert land transportation. I wonder what kind of heat signature it puts out?
To: MadIvan
This "thing" you have pictured is no more a motorcycle than a 1965 Sears moped. Anyone who confuses the two would probably never buy a real motorcycle anyway.
Hard to believe that this "thing" came from the same country that gave us the Norton Commando and the BSA A65L Lightning.

Nope, we have had direct drive cooling fans for a couple decades at minimum.

They meant personal computer cooling fan. No one said the folks at Reuters knew anything about computers. Or much else, for that matter.

LOL!!!
How could I forget the The Prince of Darkness.
Ever seen the bumper sticker that looks like an MGB headlight switch?
The labels read:
DIM
FLICKER
OFF

I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't want to be riding a motorcycle with a cylinder of high-pressure hydrogen between my legs.

If I'm gonna ride a bike it will not be a "PC" one and it will be offroad.
I'd much rather drive a NASCAR or NHRA Nitro Fuel Car that any bike.
Or ride in an F-16 and puke in my O2 mask.
