Last time I saw anything robot related, ASIMO was still walking stiff like a board and now there's a robot racing down a track on two wheels? Rossi's time is still better by far, but it seems like a matter of time now before technology catches up.

But I do question what the point of robot riders are.

We should enable this effort towards "building" the next POTUS.

Yea, that's not going to happen unfortunately and I dread to see what happens next year. Lets hope they don't levy any extra tariffs on motorcycles not built in the country.

This plays very well into what we might see on the road, one of them being self-riding-like tech that can prevent us from falling or at least greatly reduce the impact a fall would have. Honda already gave us a look at it.

I didn't think Yamaha was actually serious about producing a three wheels bike anytime in the near future, but it seems like they just purchased Brudeli, a Norwegian startup that specializes in three-wheel motorcycles. Guess the Niken is coming earlier than we thought!

You have to admit that the 3 wheel platform is enticing to older riders, but I don't think the bulky styling of the Spyder is appealing to everyone. I think they are trying to determine rider interest in a sportier 3 wheeler, that handles/leans much more like a traditional bike. I wonder if this purchase was in an effort to bring the Niken to production.
