Erik Buell Racing - Please tell me "cool" stuff like this is in the works for the distant future...

How cool is this! A tracked motorcycle! Innovation and design like this just makes me a happy camper. This is a cool bike. Granted, changing out track pads wouldn't be much fun but can you IMAGINE all the trouble you could get into with this thing off road?! Woot!

I'm sure there are some serious disadvantages but I still think the concept of the machine is pretty innovative and "cool".

Take a look!

Just buy a snowmobile and put rollers on the front in place of the skis.

I'd take one... imagine with the contact patch that the entire track could provide as opposed to two small tires! plus you wouldn't have to worry about getting stuck in a little muck...

I'd like to test drive one just to see how much insane torque you'd have. I assume you have to counter steer the machine 100% of the time... wonder what the top speed would be?
