It’s confirmed, the MonoTracer is the love child of a sports car and a motorcycle. Odd bedfellows those two make, but one futuristic and stylish machine.
The two seat MonoTracer is an enclosed motorcycle that allows you to ride your bike with out messing up your hair - no wind and no helmet. If you miss the wind on your face, it has a small moonroof.
Available in 6 colors, the MonoTracer has motorcycle-type handlebars and retractable tires that can be down if you are calmly commuting through rush hour traffic or moved into the up position if you are working out your road rage at the race track. Just so you make it back to work on Monday, it is reinforced with aluminum crash and roll bars.
With a 4 cylinder in-line BMW K-engine, it accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.8 sec with a top speed of 150 mph. It gets about 47 - 57 mpg, depending on your speed.
We don’t know which side of the gene pool is responsible for the single gull wing door, but we like it.
The company said they are only going to make about 100 per year, and at about $68,000, you will probably be the only one on your block with this toy.
