Yikes!

My son's friend holds four motorcycle records (350cc) at 100mph.

edit:
Sorry [not sorry] I can't let go on the Audi off-road vehicle. A similar vehicle that has pontoon fenders for on-road:

https://phys.org/news/2015-02-ntu-un...-d-concept.html

Another that uses the wind-split sides and pontoons, but ditches the wheels


https://www.designboom.com/technolog...ar-10-30-2017/

Would the side wind-split keep the upper windows clear of mud and debis? That'd be an aerodynamic feature.

As I recall it was a black-and-white picture. Once again I'd like to see a 50/50 morph between the Volhahart-Saggitta V2 and (in this case) the Disco Volante.

The red bike says Colani. Not surprised.
