Default New type of motorcycle

This new bike can be driven in all weather while having the safety of a car. What do you guys think?

Personally I can't believe someone hasn't started making such things. I'd get one. Most of my driving is city anyhow, so why not take up less space and fuel?

These were featured on Motoring a few months ago. There is a US distributor for them. http://www.peraves.ch/ndexe.htm
I recall that they weren't cheap. Are you ready for this?
$80,000.00
I could buy an Echo or a Smart car and use the extra money to buy a gas station.

It's a cage, not a bike. Good idea though if it were cost effective. Maybe get the fuel mileage of a bike and the small size, but the cost is just too much. For that much I could buy a Honda Insight and several real bikes.

Old concept. There is an outfit that produced a similar (well almost exact) product based on the nose section of a BD-5 ( Jim Bede he is a horrible engineer and a scam artist -- sorry had to get that out -- asshole killed quite a few people through his imcompetence).
