Frame design??
 
LOL Born. 2 Wheels are scary enough. Can you imagine riding that thing in city traffic?

Emergency stops would not be fun. I still want one.
 
Saw a very similar design recently in a movie called Lockout, though I believe the bike in the movie had a slightly longer front end. Could have been a regular bike with the image manipulated though. The background in that scene was computer animated. I still thought it was bada$$. Gotta wonder though, how the heck do you park that thing? I get that it must have a counterweight somewhere to keep it balanced while driving, but how does it stay upright when parked?
 
It balances in a similar way to the Segway. It senses how much forward lean it has on it, and accelerates to balance. Parking it is a good question... I imagine it has a big tripod kickstand or something.
 
it rolls back and sits down on its rear when you want to park it or at least thats how the prototype worked
 
Just one thing scares me about those: say your tire has a blow-out at somewhere above 35 mph. Motorcyclist, thou art surely toast.
