R/C Ducati with leaning rider

I came across this today and thought I'd share it. I did a quick forum search and didn't see a previous post, so hopefully it's not a derby

I love the video and the fact the rider actually moves around and hangs off the bike!

  Just may have to get me one.  That looks like fun.

Nothing looks worse than a R/C motorcycle with two tiny wheels on the bottom to keep it from falling over.



But then theirs has...

...2 tiny wheels sticking out from the side fairings?  (Even though that's only to prevent crash damage, it's pretty ironic.)





Still pretty effing cool though b/c of the rider shifting back and forth.

I have one, but mine didn't come with out-rigger wheels. It works pretty well. The front fork is free and it does indeed steer by leaning. A lot of fun, actually.
