probably around 5 based on how many are going to be made, and how much they will cost.

Wow, I wonder where do you launch the rockets, and how do you activate the force field.

How do you turn that thing? You can't lean it, that's for sure. And if you turn the bar while rolling at high speed you will be screwed.
They say that it has a potential top speed of 300+mph. How in the world are they going to achieve that? Yeah it's powerful, but that thing is not aero dynamic at all. The rider is fully esposed to the wind. With all that wind smacking the driver, he'll get blown off the bike at those speeds.
Goes to show you how the american auto maker has no finesse.

Actually, you can lean it...the wheels supposedly are in individual shocks, allowing you to lean one way...one wheel shock will compress and the other will expand to allow you to lean the bike and keep all 4 wheels on the ground...but I am with you on the speeds...no way could the rider stay on.

Yeah I read the review on the concept like a month ago. It's pretty cool. I don't know if I would ride it though. Turning can't be that great on it, but who knows. I would hate to lay down that bike (it's to heavy and to nice), that bike also has way to much HP.

why can't dodge focus their efforts more on fuel efficient machines instead of building a bike with a viper engine...
