Can you believe that!!!!! while at Laguna Seca yesterday, I was over at the Motoczysz tent looking at the bike and admiring the enginuity, when I hear a guy telling his buddy, " yea this is the first American Sportbike made" ........I looked over at him and just stared for a couple of seconds, then asked well what about Buell? The guy looked at me and said " oh well.....thats not a real sportbike"
I replied, You've got to be kidding me man, as I pointed over to the Buell tent, and said take a look in there, you obviouslly didn't watch saturdays race when a BUELL took 8th.....the guy just smiled and walked a way.........I was all fired up........the Motoczysz bikes aren't even in production yet.

I see lots of similarities between that bike and Mullers "skycar"......................


Both are going nowhere and seemed designed for the sole purpose of creating wealth for the designer/marketer.

Damm first they tell me I don't ride a real Harley now I am told I don't ride a real sportbike. I think I am going to have a crisis.

And at $100,000 a piece it's for the track only...I doubt anyone we know will be riding one anytime soon!

I just read an article (CW, I think) about the most recent incarnation of the Motoczysz, and I really believe the guy's got some good ideas and he seems to be hiring some pretty competent engineers to make it all work. The bike looks pretty good on paper...and for $100K+ each, it'd better.

For the time being, gimme my Buell--it's got some pretty damn innovative engineering itself, and hey, I could afford one!

DOn't take it to heart. Those guys have the classic: Battleship mouth and tug boat a$$ syndrome.

They have nothing but talk, their proof of concept can't even complete 2 parade laps of the track.
So they talk REALLY BIG, in hopes no one will notice that the Emperor has no clothes.

Either way, they haven't built ONE real street motorcycle yet. Not One. but they'd have
people believe that they are the ones building REAL American sport bikes.

ok, /rant off
