Well, until they make a production one of these I'm not getting too excited just yet!
If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

I've never ridden a motorbike but I have ridden bikes a lot and isn't the whole point that bikes are self-balancing anyway once they are moving?
Any bikers able to refute that?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Well I'm impressed.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Pretty cool though. Of course you don't have to look further than a human to see something able to self balance, well most of the time anyway.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Of course on the ice the bike would still be sliding sideways but it would be doing so upright.
When hitting a kerb it would have to be very fast and sideways in order to overcome the force of the gyroscopesCoffee's for closersComment

Isn't the whole point of motorbikes to be able to get through the traffic easily? So width causes more issues?Comment
