I just saw one of these today. What do you guys think? A motorcycle with a safety cage.

Quote: For the first time in a modern motor vehicle, the C1 combines the advantages of two-wheeled motorized transportation with the strengths of the automobile.

The C1 is targeted to urban European markets as an appealing alternative to small cars and crowded mass transit systems. The ultimate congestion beater, it is easily maneuverable, versatile in traffic, easy to park and, due to its distinctive appearance, readily noticed by other motorists.

I think that design is brilliant.

That's a whole lotta weight above the CG. Can't be good for handling...

I saw a ton of them in Italy this summer. They got zip out sides and seat belts. It seemed like they were exclusively driven by Italian business men...And they all had Italian suits...go figure.
