What are those? Mopeds for people with bad balance?

A sort of hybrid concept...

It seems they target 40 year old men as read in a french article.

These are new motorcycles for the Moto Gp circuit. Kidding aside, these would be great as transportation if you live in an area where driving one would be safe. Sure would definitely cut down on petro consumption. Imagine, driving for a couple of weeks on a tank full, not bad. Still, I, prefer my CBR900RR, 40 MPG at 160 MPH!

It looks like you can actually lean into turns on that thing.
