    Anyone notice what Michael Czysz has been up to?
    I guess they created this in just 5 months from conception to prototype.
    He tried to race it at Isle of Man in a special zero emisson class. I'm not sure how he finished. Take a look a the gallery, the digital bike uses an I-phone for a dash...
    This dude has huge cajones!!
    I loved the original C1 prototype he was working on a few years ago.

    They had some issues and weren't able to finish but amazing work to get it there and just compete in that timeframe. A member on VFRD participated and has a write up on the experience over there.

    True. Discovery theater the other day had a 1 hour special on the MotoCzysz MotoGP bike. I think he started work on that one when the MotoGP rules allowed 900cc bikes. It was really impressive to see this guy with no experience what so ever start from ground up. I think the show was called "Heart of a Racer" or something like that. Think his dream took a big hit when MotoGP changed the format, and plus his bike was having technical issues.

    However, the MotoGP bike had some radical engine design. This allowed near effortless lean during cornering. Seems like he is doing it again with this bike, and has not given up on revolutionizing the motorcycling world.

    Cool.

    SOMEONE always has a point to make or to prove.

    At least we don't have some geek with laptop full of equations developing a super- or turbo-charged dynamic new variably differential induction system to boost the power of a ZX-14 or V-Max!

    The only thing an electric motorcyle will replace is a 50cc urban scooter.

    Hmm there was this one dude. Saw it on some chopper build of contest. The builder was from Belgium his name Allan Lee. He was tasked with building a chopper with theme based of monster energy drinks.

    Dude builds a chopper with the gas tank made of those virtually indestructible glass. Fills it up with the energy drink and uses that a fuel. The reason he can do it is because of this contraption his friend gives him. Some alternative fuel burning contraption.
