30 something, male.
Yes please, when do they go on sale?
Only as a museum piece. First, because no one has yet been daft enough to ride it, and we don’t even know if it works. Second, because you can’t insure a vehicle that costly.
It’s a grotesque, silly, utter impractical and dangerous vehicle even for most collectors. If like trying to mass market Batmobiles. Your only market is likely to be vehicle museums and some bored collectors looking for something different.

- FIRSTLY: I seem to remember reading somewhere that one was built that was ridden at low speeds on a track. Maybe not one with that engine, but it had the four wheels set like that. It does work.
. . . . . . . .
SECONDLY - As far as “400 mph”, that’s a guess. I challenge the peanut gallery to go forth and find me anyplace that makes street-legal motorcycle tires that size that can withstand 300 mph, much less 400…
THIRDLY - Before I clicked I thought this was about the helicopter-jet-engine motorcycle, like what Jay Leno has. It cost up around that much too, weighed a lot less I bet, and actually is street-legal already. I forgets how much HP it has, but it’s a lot.

I’ve seen these online, and they sell about 5 a year. I doubt Dodge will do that.
Of course, any bike I can idle and melt bumpers in traffic is way cool. 
Yes, that’s what we were thinking.
I’m in Australia, where the laws are different. We’re marketing the bike as is though.
I’m thinking they probably would have designed it so it can turn. But I’m not about to pay $250,000 to try it out. (Assuming they make any more and sell them!)
Heh. Well, I picked that one as a ‘middle age to retiring age’ bracket. Couldn’t have too many brackets!
Yes I saw that, I think it’s the one Jay leno has.
We’re only allowed to market to the Australian market. 
Mangetout, I’d much rather have been assigned that to market! I want one, dammit. 
Depends.
Am I the Prince of Persia? Then yes, I buy the bike. Because I can. The exclusivity of it is what is important. It sits in my garage along with my authentic Shelby Cobra and my Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (daily driver between the palace and my airstrip). If I drive it three times while I own it that’ll be surprising. It’s there to impress my guests, not to be ridden.
Do I have 250000.01 to my name? Then no, I don’t buy it.
This product is not something anyone would buy out of need, it is an excellent example of extravangance for extravangance’s sake. That is how it has to be marketed. Having said that, I bet they’ll sell every one they make.

Now that is a cool vehicle. Amphibious car with retracting wheels! The manufacturer’s site is here, by the way.
I don’t know why but the motorbike in the OP looks ugly to me. And it’s not very exciting technologically - the steering mechanism looks interesting, but that’s about it. I wouldn’t buy it.
(M 21-35)
No. It looks absolutely hideous. I’d rather save up for a yacht.

That thing is hideous. Possibly the ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen. Definitely in the top 5. A Yugo had more aesthetic appeal than that bike.
There are bikes that I would spend more money than I can afford (Triumphs are gorgeous. Someday I will learn to ride just for one of those) …but that thing? I’d think twice if it was $5. $250000, you’ve got to be kidding.

Male, 35-45.
If I had gobs of money and $250,000 specifically to spend on a motorcycle, I would not buy this bike. Instead, I’d buy a Marine Technologies Y2K. I love the smell of jet fuel!
But in fact, I would much sooner spend $250,000 on a flying motorcycle. A new R-22 costs $170,000, and a new R-44 costs $307,000.
Oh, and for the record, the bike in the OP is really, really ugly.
21-35, white female.
It’s fugly. Even if for no other reason, hell no.
Yeah I might, but “afford it” would require several 100 million dollars. ie there are a lot of things I’d buy before that bike.
