Sure, it looks cool, but by the time you put on: a custom seat, HID lighting, motolights, J-Pegs, a taller windsheild, luggage racks, a trailer hitch, Remus Exhaust, a Rhine West chip, GPS, Serius Radio, and a radar detector - the think might cost as much as an LT!

Looks very cool.
We'll see it in the X Games next year, and some guy will take it on the Dragon to get featured on killboy.com within 2 years.
Even with treads that thing will blow away most Harleys.
I wonder how many k miles the tread will get?
Rock will be the first North American buyer. No more snowy-road nightmares for Uncle Rock.
Joe will be an early adopter, trading in his GT. He'll start a new 'Alternative Bikes' Forum here and on k-bikes.com. He'll get the thing set up with a Vee Stream windshield and will move his Intaride intercom over to it. :D

I don't know if anyone bothered to read the text, but it looks like someone, either at Popular Science (doubtful), or the manufacturer, has bad info.

Concerning steering, it says that to turn left, push the handlebars RIGHT, JUST LIKE ON A MOTORCYCLE!


WRONG!!!!!

A bit of research is certainly missing here. That's the best way to go off the road on a bike, and a mistake made by the rankest novice!

I saw that, Jay. Just figured they'd gotten it wrong, again. Still looks like a fun toy, if it actually works as expected. I figure we'll see one in the next James Bond flick.
