200 hp and weighs under 400 lbs. Be like strapping yourself to a rocket.

Looks like a "Tron" bike... (funny I should say that,..."The bike was designed by German concept designer Daniel Simon, whose work has featured in movies such as TRON: Legacy and Oblivion")...
I'll take it!... How much?... :-?...

LOL, dang nabbit... ya gotta stop watching the same web pages as me! I personally like the green and yellow one. I would still like to know what the specs on the weight are, as the site doesn't show overall bike weight.

Ok autoblog has a press release at the bottom of their page and a full spec readout to boot... says 181kg...399.03669455485lbs... dang!

OH...and only 100 are going to be built...guess if you didn't order the day of the press release your not getting one...oh and a couple hundred thousand in the bank too.(and that's probably low siding it)

Very cool looking.......I wouldn't want to wrench on it though, probably takes an hour just to get to the engine LOL.

Good point Dave,, I guess they figured if you can afford that thing youll have someone waiting everywhere youre planning on stopping & theyll have a dolly waiting on ya. Kinda weird not havin a stand on it.
