that would be why they wouldn't use magnetic materials to build the chassi ...
come to think of it, nothing on the bike, except those wheel magnets would be magnetic ... other wise the bike would problaby rip it's self apart ... unless these magnets some how confine their force and concentrate on a small volume of space. But i doubt that's the scenario.

well if you wear those knee/shin gaurds they wear in superbike racing you should be able to to turns a lot faster. Since when they take those tight corners at 90-100 km/h they are more or less holding their bikes up with their knees. Or i think they are ... i don't know, i'm not a big bike racing fan.

about this motorcycle...

Ahah, I was actually watching the unvailing of this bike. It has a viper engine in it, unfortunately, the won't be releasing it to the general public. The G.M. of dodge's design said he only wanted to make something that would catch the eye of the people who do concept carmagazines and such. Basically he just wanted to make something cool, mission accomplished. I would agree with you, there is a crazy likeness to the bikes in akira, which, may I add, is a great movie.

BAH. I want one too. Of course, if this thing goes as fast as they say then no car could possibly dream of catching up to that thing. And with THAT said, the cops would have a pretty hard time trying to ticket someone going 300 MPH.

$250K is the figure I've heard.

It'll probably be made for collectors or eccentrics, but woe unto the soul that dares to try and ride this thing.
