Father of future motorcycles

The good folks at Suzuki are serious about going green and have been spotted testing their latest concept, the Suzuki Crosscage Hydrogen Fuel Cell Motorcycle. With no gears, no noise, no clutch and no emissions, this hydrogen fuel cell / electric hybrid two-wheeler just might be the future of motorcycles and is closer to reality than you might think. Seriously, there is a guy riding one in these pictures, you won’t hear it coming, but it is.

Pretty cool,but I've never understood why companies feel the need to package new ideas in a "Buck Rodgers" fashion. They could throw a fuel cell power plant in a GSXR chassis just as well. To me,having a GSXR roll up silently would be more impressive.
BTW did you read the debate under the pics? Reminds me of this forum...

I think we've discussed this before but it's the same as with the Prius,why not just throw a hybrid set-up in a Celica and be done with it? I know that I'D be more likely to buy one!

Either that or nuclear fission, meaning atomic bomb.
