Very clever and all but not something I'd ever want. And definitely wouldn't wanna be pinned into the seat like that, in the event of an accident yiur gonna be stuck in the bike ??

So Yamaha appear to have spent m/billions on R&D, building a "bike" that integrates the same technology as a Segway, to stay upright on 2 wheels at walking speed? So its going to be electric, that means a technology that could accelerate quicker than a motorcycle with an IC engine! "Super-Superbike" quick.

Important question:
Is it an Autobot or a Decepticon?!

I dont like the idea of autonomously moving around on its own ------- its likely to coming knocking on my door shouting through the letterbox "oi tosser the sun is out lets go" and then probably end up going without me cause I said it looks a bit cloudy.

Like a Tesla car, that after you get out of at your door, you press a button on the remote and it drives off on its own and parks itself in your allocated parking space (using a combination of cameras / avoidance technology / sensors and GPS)..... this technology is HERE, and its becoming mainstream.

I like the sound of that, you could save loads of space as there could be allocated parking in your street or tower block you get out at your door and then the car buggers off to its space BUT it only needs i inch either side as all the cars parked together no one is opening the doors.

Infact the rear doors are ("Falcon") up and over (Lamborghini style), while the front are conventional side opening (bashing)!

If I can't park it when and where I want then I'm not riding it. If you can't stick it where it needs to go then It won't take long until some little scrote thinks it's raped their rights and gets a claim going!
