![]() 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... |

Yeah, the no noise feature isn't appealing to me. And looking at the rear tire, it doesn't look like it puts out too much power with that skinny little thing. No gears or clutch? Gonna have to learn how to ride all over again. And it's a bike. People are buying them because of the extremely good gas mileage, why try to go green with something that already has outstanding mileage? Unless they have a tip on the future gas prices being totally fucking outrageous, now they're just outrageous.

that thing can't have much on a 250 with only one front disc brake... and notice the rear bake is the same size? wonder if they're linked... fuck that... even Drewpy's bike gets better gas milage than 90% of the cars on the road...
