@TheRealThomasPaine1776 2 жыл бұрын

Due to the light weight, great MPG, less wear and tear on the roadway, etc, I believe that there should be huge tax exemptions for people to buy a car like this. Imagine if the roadways were full of commuters driving these? We could be in the passing lane and all get to work in half the time, and everyone would be in an excellent mood ready to work much faster. I think there are a lot of benefits, not to mention no distracted driving, no texting, no calls, no eating while driving. This car makes you concentrate, plus, there is room in the back seat area for your briefcase or jacket!!!

youd get crushed by all the guys in big trucks and SUVs, thats why its not common.

For someone who misses driving and especially having a bike; I get to vicariously enjoy something I still love. Used to ride my bike to all my nat guard drills on purpose before I was deployed so I'd get several hours on the road. Hearing that Yamaha go really brought that back. Great medicine .

Corey Stryker nope the slingshot uses a Audi engine and KTM makes a track day car but it uses the audi s3 engine. I think both were missed opportunities especially so for KTM. I feel like KTM could have easily made a V4 that matched the Audi power, really they just need a larger version of their V4 racebike engine.

Chapman was such a genius, no wonder he was a big inspiration to Gordon Murray. Chapman was a structural engineer who started a car company. He believed it easy to build a bridge but the trick was building a bridge that just wouldn't fall down. When it came to his race cars he was a big believer in parts doing more than 1 thing. For example the engine was also part of the main chassis, the suspension was bolted directly to it and the engine was positioned to balance the car. Check out the Ford promotional video on youtube "first time out (lotus 49)". Lotus with the backing of ford ompletely changed motor racing in the usa when they came to take part in the indy 500.

I think it would be really neat to see you go back through and make new videos about the cars in your older videos. The production quality since then has improved night and day! Tank car? Jet bike? Great video as always jay!

With Tom Cruise in the back, would remind me of the Ambiguously Gay Duo from SNL.

7:55, what's all that gunk? BTW, one advantage motorcycle engines have over car engines is they don't have the same power stealing emissions requirements.

over 200 bhp/ 1000cc, car engines also have a longer stoke, which is why they do not rev as high as a motorbike

I wonder if you could spec one with a roll hoop...

Or a rear wing to add some downforce to stick to the road a little better.
