Yes ! It is real ! They're making a very limited edition of 5 bikes. Watch the video - does it look like a real pain to ride or what !

Overall it looks like an uncomfortable, awkward handling, useless bike that would probably get you hurt real quick. It may look unique while sitting still, but I doubt many would care to ride it for more than a couple minutes.

Some things should be left alone.
Fantasy doesn't always make a good transition into reality.

Cool looking bike. Stupid video. Ride 50 feet in a straight line at 6 mph, then stop cause they could not turn. Ridiculous. Like Scott said: "Fantasy doesn't always make a good transition into reality."
I think I'll keep my Nomad. ???

I don't even think it looks good!
Unique, but completely useless. The thing doesn't even turn. What a waste.

I can't figure out why they would make such futuristic looking bike and put an antiquated HD twin motor in it. Maybe Honda's new V4 wouldve been a better choice. Of course as unrideable as it appears to be, a slow motor probably keeps someone from getting killed.

Personally don't care for it. Looks like he's humping the stupid thing.

They may have got the design from the Dodge "Tomahawk V-10" http://www.metacafe.com/watch/71022/tomahawk_bike/
I like this a lot more but it's probably a "straight line"/drag bike as well. There is another video here http://kiwi.kz/watch/x7guhj7o2nyi
If you understand maybe German or Swedish {not sure}

Looks like it takes 40 acres to turn that thing around and I think I am probably too short to ride it. But with out a doubt someone will pay a bunch of money to own one. Go figure.
Thanks for your time

Of course, no one would ever mass produce that because you can't do anything with it but ride in a straight line. However, it is cool to see a movie machine that's capable of being produced in real life. Looking at it strictly from that standpoint. Otherwise, I agree with the rest of you, no functional at all.
Im sure that if you got it put into a video game it would handle fantastic.

Looks to me like another case of "motorcycles as art" project. I'll bet that the test run (if you want to call it that) was just to prove that the thing is at least operational, in a very rudimentary way. I can't see that practical in any sense of the word, but it does look sort of cool and futuristic way. But ya gotta turn sometime, and it doesn't look like that thing is up to it. Grreat conversation piece, though.

this looked like a nice option for those not wanting to have a stereo after doing mine I would have opted for this had I found it before I did the reckless looks like it mount to the stock windshield brackets
