We've all heard the news, and probably seen the bikes, but here's a video of it in action, which I hadn't seen before. Smile

Anyone know of other bikes that offer this?

That's really quite amazing. The biggest fear I have is crashing into a car at 50mph and flying 30 feet in the air. This eliminates THAT danger almost completely

Instead it catapaults the rider up vertically for half a mile.

Don't think airbags are the way forward on bikes. We take risks, we accept that.

It certainly works, take a look at this:

Saying that, I'm still not convinced.

and the radio controls are in a crap position on the airbag model. Whistle

I'm intrigued by Goldwings. I sometimes see old ones come up on ebay for about £3K (old 1980's ones - they certainly hold their price!) and feel like buying one just for the experience.

I blame my old man - he's always wanted one but never had the space to keep it, but now I have the garage space I feel almost obliged to buy one just to let him have a go!
