While I'm really skeptical about it happening, this would be cool . . .

Yeah, hate to be a buzz kill but I don't see this happening. Entertaining? Sure. But I still say the economy is going to cramp his idea. Timing's not right. Not sure if it ever would be. Sounds like he's been sitting around the den smoking too much pot coming up with wild ideas.
Guess we'll find out. I wish him luck.

It sounds like what I've hoped GP would be for the longest time, a true prototype race series

Am I dreaming in colors here or didn't the WERA have an unlimited/Formula USA type class similar to this years ago?

all I can say is....color me interested...at the very least...his idea has wet some palette's and appetites for sure...
now...Barber doesn't seem like a very good track for this for machines that'll be "faster than a MotoGP machine"...so what track(s) does that leave?....personally, nothing against Miller(which seems like it'd be worth seriously considering) but it lacks the undulations and landscape features that also highlight some of the spectacular things motorcycles do with their pilots, like the drop into the corkscrew at Laguna or Lukey Heights at Philip Island or the turn 1 cambered 1st gear turn at Nurburgring or any of the other wonderful examples we can all come up with....

it will be as much dumb luck as it is design
certainly they'll try to design bikes/use designs that are good for the track.
I am thinking an NOx modded GP09 bike would be nice.. turn advantages over heavier setups with turbo/supercharging and a big kick for the straights.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

He claims he could build a bike faster than a MotoGP bike for $100k. I'm not so sure about that actually--depends on the definition of "faster," I guess.
Overall, the article reminds me of Moller, the guy that shows up in the media every few years claiming he's on the cusp of producing affordable flying cars for everybody. The no-holds-barred idea is everybody's fantasy, but when I got to the part about 3D movies with Ridley Scott (from Blade Runner?) directing, I thought: "dang, another scam." I'm surprised he didn't mention some tie-in with Justin Bieber, Apple, and Facebook as well.

i could too, but it wouldn't have any cornering capability.. it's all relative.

Sounds cool...
...but I'm skeptical. The claim that a MotoGP bike wouldn't be fast enough is assinine IMO. NOS, Turbo, Superchargers, etc. all seem silly when current GP bikes top 200 mph and can pull wheelies or spin up the rear in every gear. Nevermind the lean angles they can also achieve.
Since this would be a road race I don't see anything being faster than a GP bike...they have way too much R&D into them, the best suspension, brakes, tires, electronics, etc. I don't see how an all new machine with limited development time could match them...or even come close.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I love the Justin Bieber remark!
Maybe he can get Paris Hilton to sponsor a team or be the head umbrella girl coordinator!!
That would be hawt!!
