1. Not a bike
2. Does not turn without handlers
3. The only way this bike would see 300 mph is in a vacuum or on re-entry
4.Why? Just because you can doesn't mean you should
5. Most modern sportbikes will outperform this thing in every arena except gross weight.

Saw a show on it. Dodge built it as a concept veichle and had so much intrest at the shows they decided to build them.

Think Jay Leno has one.

The same show had the worlds biggest bike. It's about 30' long and V8 powered. The current owner let some bike magazine writer take it for a spin and he crashed it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

...so it would be just refered to as a vehicle?
Looks like a bike (futuristic) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) has handlebars like one (no visible pivot point tho) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) and it is seated like a bike. Wonder if it would stand alone w/o a kick stand?

You could call it a quad. I do not believe it has a kickstand.

All I can say is "What a waste". They should put that into a 914 type car. Then they would have something. I just cannot see anyone riding one of these around town. I know for a fact, you would get a ticket at just about every intersection.
