It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Larger is not better with a motorcycle. It's gotta be quite heavy. Both of those things would take away from the biggest advantages a car has over a motorcycle.

I'd have to see a few things to care about this...

Braking time/distance. Sure it can go 126mph but how quick can it get back to zero.

How well can it corner or do a slolum maneuver? I don't how fast it can go in a straight line if it can't go though curves or swerve to avoid danger.

Same as any other motorcycle. An oblivious land yacht driver changes lanes without noticing it, and the brick wall stops it almost instantaneously.
