    Very cool and interesting, YES! Future of motorcycles, NO! I saw one of those stupid pictures everyone is posting on facebook now, with a picture of a dog sticking his head out a car window. The caption "Only a biker know why I enjoy this so much" or something along that lines. This is still by my standards a "cage".

    I've been seeing designs like this for at least 20 years. They never take off.

    Like the one Cousin It drove in the Addams Family:

    That's, believe it or not, a Messerschmitt.

    The only reason those things existed was the European tax laws that considered them motorcycles because of engine size. Nobody wanted one on it's own merits, they sold because they were cheap to own.

    It may not be the future but thats why I put the question marks in the title. Its still a unique idea with the gyros.
    I like the Messerschmitt, been looking for one.
