In 50 years time these will be old classics, with owners clubs and forums about restoring them lol+++

I think I'll wait for the nuclear model. In the meantime one of these will do. http://www.lotus-motorcycles.com/

If thats the future of motorcycling I'm glad I wont be there.

Here's what I want but as usual cant have.

A motorcycle with a 32 valve, fuel injected, quad cam V8.

I don't get how the steering works ? And why the big air dam up front ?

 Looks like it's going backwards..??, but I want one and a lotus....and if the bike comes with her, so be it...80 min. recharge long enough for a quickie- 3.5 hr...one could get tanked first...?

  I saw this in town one day, and again at a pub up the country...called a Transformer, kit bike  ~$120K made in Florida,HD  that's the unlikely looking owner in the background with a stubbie reckons 3 only exist to date...

...or else designed for the Australian market? Bit difficult to avoid the drop bears though...
