the future is orange?! i never wanted one until i saw this paint scheme.
i heard of some problems with the first ones or they werent all they were hyped up to be or something? i suppose they'll have ironed out a few things.
theres 165 bhp outta the one in the picture, and you can get a race kit to bring it to 180 bhp! jeez. 1195cc v twin. it just HAS to be fun!!

Yeah, you can sit on them. Yeah, people do drop them from time to time.

The best part is the demo rides. You can ride a bunch of different bikes all throughout the streets of Long beach, all day long!

your pic link isnt working but i was able to see it lookin at the URL. that looks like a honda DN-01. it must be on sale now cos its listed on the website: http://powersports.honda.com/2009/dn-01.aspx

i was mildly interested in a 'judge dredd' kinda way until i saw what the bike was about, but thats just me, it wouldnt suit my needs/wants
