I pointed to this monster a few weeks back. Now rumour has it that it might actually go into limited production! The major liability insurance companies weren’t available for comment.
bleh, so what’s the big deal- it isn’t even really a motorcycle. “engine sitting out in the elements with some wheels beneath it.” Under whose authority does that last sentence accurately describe a ‘motorcycle?’ It is not held up or steered by gyros- it has FOUR WHEELS for crying out loud. If you ask me, there is absolutely no aesthetic value in this thing whatsoever- the design is a tiny single-seated car with a turning radius bigger than that of my mother’s Ford Excursion. Lean angle clearance of 45 degrees… the freaking dresser Harley i used to ride will tip farther than that before making sparks. Take a look at the Marine Turbine Technologies turboshaft bike, powered by the engine from a Bell JetRanger. There’s a real motorcycle. Too bad that putz Jay Leno had to go buy one, significantly hampering it’s coolness factor.
I did not see your earlier post, I would’ve linked to it. I’m not a harley or any type of motorcycle purist, I just enjoy riding, so while it is gaudy, the tomahawk is still freakin cool.
