Regarding the motorcycle, it is indeed a real working bike, and includes a "DVD Navigation System" whetever the hell that is. I'ts not known at this time how much it will cost or when it will be available.

That's pretty sweet. Did anybody see the Mach-5 from speed racer that was made a couple years back?

Here's a link for anyone who hasn't seen it http://www.speedracer.la/

And you can buy it from here too! Only $125,000!

Everything is out of proportion. The wheel discs are huge, the front panel is suposed to slide over you... and worst of all, it looks like it's made of shiny ol' gundam plastic.

I'll give it a 4/10

WOW .. that looks pretty sweet ..

... but if only it was a working model and for sale, that would be even cooler ... ^_^

I agree it's too damn shiny, and too much is left open. All in all though its pretty cool.

Nice... for long straight roads maybe. Judging by the way the front forks are set up, it doesn't look like a canyon cutter. God forbid the day you need to replace your chain!

Then again... I'd probably still ride it. Anybody that can put up with a Harley can put up with a little roadside repair.
