Some of you may have been watching "Attack of the Show!" on G4 TV. If so, you've probably heard co-host Olivia Munn chat about the MonoTracer. Well, here is the MonoTracer:

Facts and figures: http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/vehicles/road/bikes/Peraves_Monotracer.html
Peraves is a make based in the Czech Republic. I immediately thought of a racing game series I've never played when I thought of this bike- the Extreme-G series back on the Nintendo 64 and some next-gen (for its time) rendition for the PS2 or something. More commonly, this reminds people of the Tron series. This bike is capable of 155 mph (250 kph) and powered by a 130hp BMW 1200cc engine. It can go from (I apologize for not converting to imperial for the following) 0-100 meters in about 5.7 seconds. This baby tips the scales at 1,069 lbs. or around 460 to 485 kilograms. Its transmission is a four-speed transmission with reverse.
This motorcycle can be thought of as the combination of a touring bike with a supercar. It can seat two people comfortably with lovely RECARO seating and a three-point seat belt. Imagine being able to seat yourself and a friend of yours or your lover/spouse at the rear. It can get up to 57 miles per gallon. Like one of my all-time favorite cars, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, this bike has gullwing doors. So that you don't confuse this with a car, the bike is powered by the usual set of motorcycle controls. Twist the grip and go. The bike seems like a two-wheeled bobsled with a canopy when you look at its side profile. If you are looking at this bike and curious as to why you don't go down and tumble if you lean too far or go off-road for too long? That's because this motorcycle comes with two side wheels situated around where the passenger sits. My best guess is that these side wheels are deployed when the one riding the bike heads into a corner. The wheels are also deployed when going at slow speeds... which probably helps so that you don't have to climb out and pick the bike up. The motorcycle comes with its own windshield wiper. Other options noted for the MonoTracer include a GPS system and a good audio system.
So how much would this cost? Well, if you could afford a Ducati Desmodeci RR, you can probably afford this bike. It will set you back $82,350. So for the price of a Dodge Viper, you get this futuristic motorcycle. Almost makes you wonder how other canopied motorcycles would look and perform. My look at certain motorcycles continues with this amazing machine. What do you think about this thing? Set me straight on anything I may have missed.
