This looks like it could go in an interesting direction.

Oh my!  That is interesting!  I just glanced at it (at work right now), but only the 2-valve duck motor?

There's also this one:

Not sure how real it is mind you - not seeing any exhaust pipes on it ...  or a place for a battery.

Yeah, no cables, footpegs, brake calipers, nothing that suggests an actual working bike.  Looks like a concept, and indeed the accompanying copy suggests that's all it is so far.  But cool looking, for sure.

What an interesting idea. Sounds ambitious to be able to put one together in a weekend, though.

Nah....if you going to build...go all out.  I build bikes too and always document the first ride.

That video does good things to my mood. Been looking to pick up another bike. I had one lined up a few weeks ago but had to get a new tranny for my wife's car. It'll be a few months yet, now.

Hah - I want an Open Source car designed to run forever. Unbolt. Repair or Replace. Bolt back on.
Interesting concept. In  30 years, you can just unbolt your flux capacitor for a more reliable, lower carbon footprint fossil fuel burning internal combustion engine once everyone figures how how bad making flux capacitors really is.

Pretty interesting...But I'm kinda with Mayfly, not real keen on Duc motor option. I do like Ducati's, but very few.

But the concept is cool...
