Yea a French guy's idea .. He's just flown the channel on it at 2nd attempt .. first one ended in the drink when he stopped for refuelling .. By all account's the French Military are super interested and have granted him some development money .. Huge potential this idea has ..

How about getting two, and putting some sort of frame between them, with a seat, and a larger fuel tank in front of the seat, and maybe some handlebars to control it?  I wonder what that would be like?

Had a brother-in-Law who was very partial to Laverda’s, his 1300cc Mirage used to wake the dead and his very rare 650 Sport (with all Kevlar panels) used to beat every Jap bike in town. It was so rare that the (only) importers, three cross motors usedto maintain it FREE!!!!!!!

 

Obviously he had a ‘Jota Mota’ too!!
