I hope this works out to be good.  This is the part I wanted to see and glad they are making something.

BSG (the series that just ended) had me unsure at the beginning but turned out to be great. 
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

I do not like the Sarah Conner Chronicles but that terminator chiq (Summer Glau) can look perty tight sometimes.

Strip down all the weird stuff that looks like it should be from the movie Alien, and you would have a pretty rad bike.

I do not see a seat or footpegs on the bike.  Does it drive itself?  Is it a new model with its own chip?  If it is its own entity controlled by itself, why does it have lights?

The terminator was riding a CB750 w/a cafe fairing in the first movie, a Harley in the second movie, and I don't remember what (if anything) he rode in the third movie.  Nice to see they are continuing with the moto theme.   ;D

I am going to mount two 240 golfs on the back of my 550 and the new mk19, with 0 recoil that I saw on that Future Weapons show or what ever the heck it is called.
