Tron Cycle IRL
Anyone recall Parker Brothers attempting to sell a computer model of a Tron cycle to people without it actually existing IRL yet!? Well, they've only gone and built the mofo!
It IS a thing of beauty, but I can't help but feel there'll be no 90º turns just yet!
or indeed, any turning at all...
*edit* more info here: www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-12/01/tron-motorbike they made 10, 6 sold so far!

why do people feel the need to talk over classic rock tracks
Back in Black is fine without some prick ruining it.
The bike is also awesome

^This and ^this
It does indeed look awesome, but it looks like one almighty ballache to ride. And I mean ballache both metaphorically and physically.

I feel it needs a few mods to make it a tad more practical,
you should be able to also sit up if you prefer, only stretch out when at speed on a long straight, and it deffo needs a LOT more maneuverability, higher wheel covers and such, it looks to me like there's gonna be a LOT of expensive scraping on a tight corner, somewhat ironic for a bike known for doing 90º turns!
It IS still awesome tho!

Reminds me of the
Dodge Tomahawk
But not as cool (sorry Tron fans.)

As you say, similar turning circle to a supertanker at full speed

Looks great
But the fact that they only take it to 5mph and use their feet a lot speaks volumes

Top speed of 2MPH from the looks of it unless the handling gets LOTS worse when it hits the power band at, oh, 5MPH.
