That'ts funny, reminds me of back in 1980 when Armor-All first came out.

I applied some to my motorcycle seat and almost slid off.

I had to remove it all or I couldn't go over 25 mph.:D

They do look sweet, but I have the same questions. With the swing arm tucked into that body work how is there any travel in it at all? I also noticed there is no rear brake foot lever? Maybe they have some sort of PDK type transmission and both brakes are hand operated? Also, as other have mentioned there is little in the way of win protection, but I assume you have to ride in a full tuck all the time and you can probably make you and the bike pretty slippery in the wind fully tucked. I am about 6'3" and I don't see fitting on one all that way. All that aside, put me down for any of the three, I don't care about the colors.

Are these images computer-generated or have they actually built prototypes?
