I can see a lot of pre-orders for this. Hell, I would like one myself, but doubt I could afford it.

I love the motorized bike design, but let's get real. Where are you going to find an open gas station? Or spare tires? Or any other part that breaks?

No, the ultimate survival vehicle is a mule.

I think it is really just a novelty item. Those tires would not last long on rough terrain at speeds over about 20mph

I disagree, it's probably not much less durable than a standard motorbike.
