Le Moto
The Saline Airstream, designed for Les Triplettes de Bonneville, has all the markings of French peculiarity and boldness. The raw, utilitarian, stripped-down appearance has more than a hint of cafe racer. This motorbike certainly showcases the “savoir-faire” of the designers- fingers crossed that the rider has the same know-how.
Designers: Vincent Montreuil, Julien Clément, Thomas Duhamel, Benoît Ponton, Pierrick Huart
Engine: MDI Air Compression, 3 gas cylinders
Frame: Aluminum/Magnesium Alloy

You didn't mention the most amazing part. It runs on compressed air!
Igor Chak says
Magic rule in motorcycle design…the seat should not be higher then the handle bars, you will kill your back and have a very tense neck. Second, that angle of the bars looks a bit off. and third…sitting on compressed air tanks is like sitting on a bomb. you hit something or crash…yeah, not pretty.
Overall, great design!!!

i agree, whats to stop you flying straight off (and upwards from the explosion of the air tanks)?

I would really like to know why there are so many dumb coments and questions about not only this idea but all the concepts. In a motorcycle accident your not going to be sitting over the air tanks. Also in the event you do hit something to the point of rupturing an air tank, I would say you have more to worry about than the loss of air.
