    BMW has one also, you have to think Honda's is much more advanced though. I don't see any future or advantage in it. BMW tried to say you might not need a gear and helmet with it, as if cars won't turn in front of you.

    Honda dominates new ideas so if anyone is crazy enough to bring something actually useful to market it will be them. This thing not using heavy gyros is amazing because that weight would be the death of any motorcycle.

    I'm assuming that you still have to be pretty gentle with it. If you walked up to it and pushed hard, I'm assuming it couldn't self correct from that much force.

    you can push a bike off a side stand pretty easily also. This is for maneuvering under 3mph and they did it with fly by wire on a freaking motorcycle. Pretty incredible with no gyros.
