    Looks like one of those bikes the circus bears ride on. Moped on steroids, but cute.

    The Zoomer, known as the first truly green motorcycle, runs on methane recovered from the intake built in to the saddle. Riders will be able to bypass the petrol stations and limit refueling to stops at roadside chile houses.

    So is there some kind of connection between the seat and your ass where you can fart in the thing then?

    The recycling system involves the innovative use of an exchange resin in a resilient foam configuration, which also acts as a cushion. Methane released from the driver (and passenger if present) is avidly scavenged by the cushion and moves by diffusion toward the extraction unit where the free gas is regenerated and fed to the fuel system. This elaborate exchange system eliminated the unpleasant sucking sound at idle that was one main factor in abandoning the suction delivery system in the prototype. The so-called butt-sucker reportedly will be made available as an option for those who prefer the negative pressure ride. Also, unlike the vacuum system, the resin-cushion recovery system (RCRS) is not subject to failure under overweight girl friend.

    I've never seen this before. When I search for Honda Zoomer-X there is no sign of it on the Honda site. I'm assuming it is a custom version of the  50cc scooter of the same name?

    I can't find info either.
     
    Sure would be fun to have two of them. I'd then have parts to be creative.

    A little different for the Honda Shadow's Mrs Wookiee and I used to ride.

    Probably be a bit of fun though.

    I was looking at the Honda Shadow a few years back but the controls (brake and gear change) were not far enough forward for my gammy leg. I ended up with a Suzuki Intruder (800cc version).


    And I'd never be able to fit on one of them cool Zoomer customs...

    Yeah synk, that's exactly what it is. People take the Zoomer and mod it like you'd see on a chopper show. The one Spacey provided was a build done at k-speed using their parts. There are quite a few people into modding these. That's definitely the coolest one I've ever seen hands down.
     
    Spacey...good question on the gas tank in that pic you put up. They claim it has a 5.0 litre tank in the stock build. Where on earth it would be on that mod you put up...no clue. I'm wondering if it may be battery or something? I wasn't able to find out any info on that particular build anywhere. Very cool to say the least! It doesn't look like that seat would be too comfy though...yikes.

    I wonder if they could be storing fuel in the frame, like Buell did with his bikes? Perhaps not.

    But where ever it is, for a show bike like that, it doesn't have to be five litres. One litre would do for pottering around in a show.

    I think it's under the footboard.
