It's happened. Fully enclosed motorcycles are now being sold in Europe and I suspect they will be available in North America in 2010.

Not cheap but they are luxurious. There are a few different small manufacturers in the game. Perhaps in first place is PERAVES from Birmingham England. http://monotracer.com

Hand crafting 100 per year the body is made from a fibreglass Kevlar composite mounted on a unique frame and powered by a BMW motorcycle engine.

Instead of having to put out your feet a gyro sensor deploys and retracts training wheels when the unit slows downs or stops.

Two passengers can ride in comfort with air conditioning an option. The units safety is beefed up with a 3 point seat belt harness and crash roll bars built into the frame.

Maximum load tips 1500 lbs. Top speed 240kmph, with a 50 litre fuel tank and a 140 litre storage compartment.
