If you had a dream bike made,what are the 2 modifications you'd mostwant on it ?

I'd be more interested in finding out (but not from on the seat) what
happens at 280kph when you switch from CBR1000 to CRF250X

For me, my dream bike would likely be an older Harley (70's). So, I'd
want two things:

1. The bike to be restored to original with a paint job of my choice
2. The bike to have updated mechanical parts like the clutch, possible
chromed wheels if it makes sense.

Don't be stupid, there's be an electronic override so that you had to
be doing 6mph or less in order to change[1]. If they can put such a
thing of the folding roof on my wife's car then they can surely add it
to a tri-former motorbike.

Let's concentrate on the real problems that have to be overcome - like
what happens to your luggage if you fill the Wing's panniers and then
transform?

[1] So it would be fine, for example, to go from CRF to Wing half-way
through a feet-up U-turn.

....must be an island thing.

That's the main reason they don't build a transformer bike. People would sue
when they lost their luggage.

 

Well... if you were commuting to work and you had to work in an office
then when the panniers shrunk it would be handy if it pressed your
office shirt at the same time

that's nice dear, how were the biscuts?

That idea has been around in sci-fi since dirt was just a
rumour...much debated about.

It's still pretty damned cool!

 

There are several podcasts of interviews with Pendry about the
