    One wheeled Bike [yes you read it correct]


    The 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto had one very unusual one-off custom, the Uno. The orange and grey coloured Uno made its first public appearance balanced on its two side-by-side wheels and its footpegs. Looking more like it should have been ridden by George Jetson as he pulled up to his space platform.

    Its frame is from yamaha R1 n its total weight is 55 Kgs.
    Its electric powered and you and do stoppies and wheelies at the same time. To accelerate it we lean forward and to brake lean back on bike .
    the coolness factor of this bike is sky-high , it will make even ducatis stop.

    Forget the Ninja some1 get me this !!!

          I guess those "two" wheels are considered "one"..

            Saw the pics long back. But yeah. Pretty darn creative though! trust the Canadians for weird stuff...

            Just now read the article. Sadly didnt have spare $4.95 cents...

            Anyways, such an inspiring story guys, don't you all agree?

            As for the handling, I guess to make a right turn the left wheel recieves more power than the right one. But I can't figure out how this is actuated. The body of the vehicle doesn't look like it would lean left-to-right like them arcade games at the malls. If only some other mags test it and dont charge for reading it online.

            But can you imagine what it must feel like to lean forward and feel the vehicle surge ahead?
            I'm pretty sure the word I'm looking for is "FUN"
