Gyroscopic Stability on new "motorcyle"?

[chivvalry]

This looks pretty cool. Not sure this would be something I would want in a motorcycle but I can see this as a nice commuter vehicle.

I like it, no doubt it's part of the future.

But, if you come into a corner so hot, no matters how much the bike leans (maximum available) that you won't make it... you won't make it, plain and simple.

One very positive thing though, the gyros are probably gonna be more capable of getting to the max lean than many riders are!

I dunno man... those gyros are intended to keep the bike UPRIGHT... not sure how well this thing would actually lean in a corner.

It's been around here before, a few times. Not even remotely interested.

Gunny.

Although I did zero in on how the guy said, "the safety of a car" when saying it was the best of both worlds (car/bike). I'm not sure how much protection there is that low to the ground at pumper height, and flimsy sheet metal.

I'll stick with two wheels and no covering.

Rekindles my desire to put a fattie rear tire on my FJR, but that's about all the reaction I have after learning about it. Other than that, it's not very sexy looking either.

And how is a girl with an American accent working for BBC and using words like "petrol?"
