.......and since a motorcycle is essentially a single person conveyance, one has to ask: why?

I will enjoy it.

You compared to a robot is like a bird compared to an airplane.

There's no comparison. :smiley:

Post by: Demar on October 28, 2015, 06:29:01 PM: I think Yamaha designed this as a tool to give precise feedback during testing. You have so many variables with a human rider. Not only rider to rider variations but also same rider different time variations. The same rider, for example, could lose 10-20 pounds between tests. Or hang off a little more on lap 2 compared to lap 1 in the same turn. A human rider comes back and says "yeah, it felt more planted when I leaned a little less". How much is a little less? With the robot Yamaha can quantify and track just how much "a little less" was and how that change affected the bike's performance. I think it's pretty cool.

Backyard fusion reactors are coming too; the question is "when"?

If this is an example of "robot" state-of-the-art, we're still a ways off ..... :laugh:
