It's no monster, but it's naked

Suzuki's new hydrogen fuel cell bike - it's stunning, but i wonder how fast it is.

I like the funky look of it. Would love to see it in person and take a test ride on it.

nifty

I remember reading about the first prototype and the fuel tank had like 40000psi between your legs.
That made me nervous in a crash of any type

Wow, the display is nuts.  I don't like the sound of super narrow tires though.  Wouldn't that have some effect on speed?

[jagstang]

That looks pretty cool- provided it worked well, I'd take chance on one.

When gas gets to 100 a gallon I am sure there will be plenty to go around or not enough and everyone looking to get one.

That's very cool!

[eyeboy]

sure, why not? i'd ride one.

Companies keep making hydrogren vehicles instead of trying to develop a better way to make HYDROGEN!  Right now it takes more engergy to make hydrogen than you get out of it -- fuel efficient?  No.  Having said that, it looks cool.

a bit like ethanol no? i mean it's worse for the environment than gas?

oh, sorry...

Well, like duh -- that's why it's got an EJECTOR SEAT!   

[acalles]

its actually kind of cool looking..

but, I worry about how quiet it will be...

I'm not sure about ethanol's numbers, but the whole idea of ethanol is to ease our dependence on foreign oil.  Is hydrogen worse for the environment than gasoline?  There's a lot of factors to consider.  If you use electricity to remove oxygen from water molecules to create hydrogen that will then be turned back into water (and energy to propel a fuel cell vehicle, say), you're getting less energy from the hydrogen than went into creating it.  And if you're burning coal to create that electricity, then you'd have a strong argument that hydrogen is more for the environment than gasoline.  Thread sufficiently jacked!
