Interesting... but to me it looks to be carrying boatloads of extra track width for a leaner, they could save the cost, complexity, and weight and leave the leaning equipment out. But, yeah, he likes the leaning; then I'd think it could be narrower and if I'm not mistaken there have been leaners with simple manual foot pedals and linkages that cover that function.

I like it, just not $26,000 like it :/

Especially with the $47 worth of vac formed ABS plastic sheet "bodywork".

It looks like the tilt axis is fairly high up (and the CG low), so not sure it is moving much, if any, weight to the "inside" either.

(i.e. on a bike, the tilt axis is where the tires meet the road)
