Vapourware? $3.6 million for a motorcycle

http://www.ecossemoto.com/index.htm

It was the ES1 model (not on their website) which caught my eye:-

It is actually, it just redirects to a site dedicated to the bike:

Their claims are a bit optimistic:
265 lbs/120 kg dry mass, >200 hp, 50% of the aerodynamic drag of modern
superbikes


The Desmosedici looks nicer, has racing roots and would leave you with
USD3.25mil change.


I'm always up for innovative thinking however, so let's see wether this
thing makes it to anything resembling a functioning prototype.

Wouldn't want to be riding that when the chain snaps.

I also thought that it was too close to my private parts for comfort. I hope
titanium plating is in the list of extras.

I'm sure the seat could be armoured easily enough - it's my right leg
I'd worry about.

"Your left leg is fine. It's a lovely leg. No, I've got nothing against
your left leg. Unfortunately, neither have you".
