Nice, but $$$ !
The newly styled versions are the Mono-tracer (Gas) and E-tracers (Electric)
Definitely a MC and requires MC riding skills!

I would think if you were used to balancing yourself on a mc that being enclosed like this would be somewhat disconcerting. Or do they balance themselves automatically? I actually get goose bumps looking at these and not the warm and fuzzy kind but the omg that is scary kind. LOL :-) Z
It is a motorcycle and rides exactly like a motorcycle.......just happens to be a high performance, enclosed cabin MC..........the side wheels drop down when stopping to keep it upright. Scary for me too at 150 mph. They require a 5 day class on safety and operation.........before the sale.I would think if you were used to balancing yourself on a mc that being enclosed like this would be somewhat disconcerting.

A motorcycle self stabilizes the faster you go. an enclosed one won't let you put your feet down at a stop so they have the outriggers to do that on these. We humans don't like to go more than 21deg off level. Lots of people get sick with the lean angles on a bike. Banking into turns is why I ride one.

Back in my Motorcycle riding days (20's but finally got rid of my last bike a few months ago) I would pride myself in being able to keep the bike balanced, even at a stop, never taking my feet off the pedal. And I learned that it is dangerous to drive with your feet dangling above the ground, you do not have the ability to keep yourself balanced without having your feet up on the pedals. It scares me, even now, to see a motorcycle driver going slow with their feet dragging the ground or pavement.
