I'm gonna have to go with "NO". It is cool though! Why does that guy hate bikes so much? That's like the 3rd time at least I've seen him seeking out cars to show up motorcycles.

 

Replace? Never!
However, I would rock one in a heartbeat. Fondled one at a car show a few months back and it was sweet.

I would, of course, have to wear an driving suit.



Bugs hurt at high speed.

 

He's just a car guy, maybe his wife won't let him ride...lol It did beat the CBR 600 RR, but I didn't see him dragging a knee...

As for me, I would love to have an Atom, but it could never replace the enjoyment I get from my two wheeled outings.

 

Replace, No
Addition, Yes

 

Glorified unfinished Lotus Super 7.

 

Why did they run it against a 600 and not a 1000? And I agree, the bike rider was not very aggressive, while the 4 wheels may corner better I don't think 2 should have fallen that far behind. IMO

 

That is a pretty cool video. I don't ride my bike because it it faster (well at least not mainly), I ride it because I enjoy the ride. I like leaning in the corner not staying flat... and I enjoy the solitude with the bike. I agree it would be cool to have one as a play toy but I still think I would ride way more often...

 

It would definitely NOT replace my bike, but I sure would love to have one to play with!
