I thought perhaps this could be a modeling subject for someone with more skills than me!

lol........I think someone would have to have access to computer CAD controlled laser grid milling machines to make one of these man!

i saw in a magazne it will do a top speed of 450mph, i dont see how you can ride it with all the tourqe a V10 makes

I bet it turns like a cow!

I saw it today in person at the Atlanta International Auto Show! It looks cool but as you can see it has no aerodynamic body work so speed and stability are going to be lacking. I would have to see it run to believe it actually could, it didn't look road worthy at all, it's prolly just a concept and that's it.

Don't plan on riding it for long when you consider the heat a V10 makes.

[mentel]

its got special heat sheilding, somethign about using ceramics.
they have everything planned out
4 wheels all have independant steering and 2 swingarms connect the wheels, they say it rides like a normal bike, there is a balancing mechanism inside the bike to make it stand up when not being ridden.
here is a pic from my magazine

Dude, the article says they are considering a production run, not that the bike is IN production. The caption in the picture reads " might see production". I think it's just a show bike to get Daimler Chrysler some attention, and it worked!

Very wrong forum, so as a moderator, why didn't you move it?

This bike is absurd. It certainly attracts the yahoos with the numbers and the weird styling. It gets attention, but it's anything but a serious motorcycle.

450 mph? 1200 lbs? 500 horsepower? Please. My bike with less than 100 hp will run with a Viper...that's fast enough for an experienced rider, I can imagine what happens when some rap star or lawyer jumps on one for the first time. This is a show bike, complete and total overkill.

If they can even muscle this beast into the street, they're simply going to end up Darwin Award recipients or organ donors.

Nice concept, but better left on display in a museum than letting some overpaid yahoo onto the street with it. Yeah, it's a running prototype, and they might produce it. But to me it's just an overpriced 500hp fantasy beast for someone who thinks they're lacking somewhere, and replace that with something more powerful between their legs. And this conveyance of pleasure can get them in a hell of a lot of trouble too fast as well!

Basically, kids, don't try this at home.
