I would never buy a one wheel motorcycle because I would not feel safe.

Anyone who rides a motorcycle will tell you that there’s nothing like the thrill of riding headlong on the open road with the wind in your face and worries at your back. A motorcycle is truly one of man’s best friends. But what if someone changed the formula — a formula, mind you, that’s been relatively unchanged for a over a hundred years.

Chris Hoffmann may just be that man, and his one-wheeled RYNO motorcycle may be the next great invention in the motorcycle world.

No.

Stupidest thing made since the Segway. Buy a scooter. A Kymco 125 is right about 2k, and it's actually pretty useful. You can store some stuff in it plus throw a bag of groceries on the floorboard.

The "monowheeler" looks like fun around the neighborhood or running around a Wally World parking lot. I would prefer two wheels on the road. FWIW - I ride a Burgman 650 Scooter during the warm weather. It is fast enough for the expressway and handles the back roads amazingly well.

Couple of comments on the McLean.

Where did he get the tire?

He needs some "Landingear".

Otherwise I think it is way cool.

cool novelty, if they had one at a show i may ride it around just to try it out but would have no desire to own one. i dont see any advantage as motorcycles are already small enough. also remember segway had problems with their gyro thing and dumping people on their faces cracking teeth, breaking wrists, busting faces. imagine that at 4 times the speed of a segway

The McLean build is pretty spectacular. I'd love to own one! It would be a great conversation starter.

I'd ride one once, but I wouldn't buy one.
