Cool - it's like a motorcycle with permanent training wheels. I like it.

As with the S&W .500 magnum revolver - I say you have to be slightly off kilter to actually fire this sucker up. I've always found the raw power of a 400cc dirtbike to be quite shocking. This....nutty.

It's been done. First, it was Hollywood that can't come out with anything original and now Detroit is ripping off classic anime....

So, the only function of the 4 wheels is that you don't need a kickstand? And that's worth $200,000? I'm reminded of the words of Frank Loyd Wright... "form follows function." This is gonna fail big time.

Let me on it for about two minutes...

...get it up to about 4000 RPM and then pop the clutch. Wonder how much rubber I'd leave on the road...

....This is gonna fail big time

Naw. It wouldn't fail, because its never going to get beyond the "concept" stage. My husband is a Dodge salesman and pointed out why:

1) It is too expensive.

2) The target-market for it is way too small to justify the expense of production.

3) It is in essense a toy, and nothing more. You're not going to ride this thing to work, or take junior to soft ball practice.

4) Insurance for this thing-- esp. against theft-- will be impossible to find.

5) If you thought the SUV was a moving target, this thing is a lawyer's dream come true.
