Well, he was in a direct-to-DVD Babylon 5 movie last year called, "The Lost Tales." Looks like he's working, but not in anything else I've seen or heard of.

Definitely my first reaction too.  My second is, "It's a scooter on steroids".

Now thats just stupid.Unless I'm missing somthing I dont see a center or side stand. Looks like ya kinda lay down inside it and just go straight.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

I've seen bike pics before where they take pictures of it standing straight up with no kickstand before even if it's a static pic. They just put it on a stand and then doctor the pic. Maybe it's because I'm younger but I think it looks kinda neat and I'd love to ride it to see how it feels. Although my opinion will change from 'neat' to 'useless' if you can't ride it in more than a straight or have to slow down dramatically to take a curve (unless it can change direction like the bikes in Tron )

It may just be sitting there, it looks like it has 4 wheels like that viper powered machine. I will add a vote for butt ugly.

Okay. Here's what I'm thinkin' here. If Greybeard thinks all sportbikes look like grasshoppers, then I say this thing looks a little like one big ol' giant ant!!! (yep! kind'a like the one that did in James Whitmore in that old SciFi movie, "Them"!!!)  However, I'm kind'a with Friar John on this one. I can kind'a sort'a appreciate it...once again, kind'a sort'a anyway. (oh, and Greybeard if you're out there, at least you have to admit Paul Muni survived that plague of locust in "The Good Earth" anyway, huh?!)

Those are 3D renderings and mediocre ones too.
