The Brudelli 654L Leanster
This could be a pretty fun toy.
The Brudelli 654L Leanster is a new variation on the motorcycle which has a two-wheeled front end and a single rear wheel, giving the rider the stability and traction of a multi-wheeled vehicle. The two front wheels however, lean at an angle of up to 45 degrees, allowing the cornering of a motorcycle.
“Making 100 meter (326 feet) controlled powerslides at the local dirt track oval (speedway) is a quite unbeatable feeling. Especially when this is a street-legal vehicle that you actually came cruising with to the track.” says Geir Brudeli, the inventor of the Leanster and manager of Brudeli Tech.
“Then just a few minutes later you could be at a go-kart track without any change of setup, leaning 45 degrees into corners with a control superior to that of a normal motorcycle. The Leanster suspension is 100% mechanical and leaves the rider in control. It is built with the goal of boosting the motorcycle experience.”
The Norwegian company currently seels them in Europe for about $30,000 USD, and you can find out more about them, see a few more pictures and some video at their site HERE.
