MCN F1 designers re-invent the motorcycle

This is pretty interesting

that thing is sick... I love it.

it has a funky looking swingarm


and is it just me or does the animated person riding the bike look like a starving kid from africa, or maybe he's just riding naked. By the time you put on a set of leathers you'll be as big as the pic of the bike in the background.

I wonder what the parasitic losses are when you have to turn 2 chains and a countershaft. It reminds me of my 350 Yamaha big wheel. It needed 2 chains and a countershaft to get the chain around the large rear wheel.

It still has to turn.

That's one of the reasons the Ducati's are so quick, they have superior aerodynamics compared to the rest of the bikes. They did tons of wind tunnel design with it. Also one of the reasons Pedrosa's RCV is faster than Hayden's, aero's.


I'm over F1. Great 'race' at Monaco. It's a joke.

I wish NASCAR would design a bike...

Go look a Harley flat tracker, it'd be just like that.
