I like it.
Hope this guy gets some investors.
That thing could be fun in ways no one has figured out yet.

alot of extra weight... would need a very large motor to make up for it.

would also seem to take the fun outta the two wheel expirience... to each their own i guess.

A 600 would be a turd in that configuration.

Wow, my local pimp put those same wheels and tires on his quad!!!

Seriously though, looks like it could be a damn fun ride with a little stiffer suspension setup and some MX tires instead of those DOT knobbies on it.

Yamaha has had a version of that floating around fer several years now. Look up "Yamaha Tesseract".

That video is pretty sweet though. Anyone notice how smoothly it was taking those offset washboards at speed? The rider barely moved!

"alot of extra weight... would need a very large motor to make up for it."

500cc 310 pounds. About 40 pounds more than a Honda 450cc trail bike. Not that heavy.
Looks like lean angle is limited by a bump stop so could be made adjustable.
Claimed suspension travel of 28" is huge.

Street model weight should be only slightly more than equivalent two wheeler.

If you were going to run the twisties on four wheels this would be fun.

i saw that same set up in gainesville at the drags a few years back. the wheels probably cost more than the bike.

So, you're saying that advancing the design of a 4-wheeler has no merit? As-is is good enough for you, eh?

Could be a godsend for the handicapped that would enjoy riding.

PPPSSSSTTTT. handicapped people have been riding dirt bikes and quads for years now. i was simply saying that to me it seems like a cross breed effortless waste of time.

i didnt know opinions were not welcome anymore.

I saw one of the BMW 4-wheeled creatures during my last trip to Germany:

BMW 4 wheeler 01


BMW 4 wheeler 02


BMW 4 wheeler 03


Ironically, I saw a H-D 4-wheeler at the Frankfurt Harley dealer the day before:

H-D 4 wheeler 01


H-D 4 wheeler 02


H-D 4 wheeler 03


Both of which had me thinking ???,

Like to try that one they've mocked up from a Ducati. I'm all for an advancement in four wheel tech.
