Great for a low side...dk about a high side

There are a few of them on youtube like this. I posted a few awhile back. I wonder what they are going for?

Some preliminary reports online has it pegged anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500. Seems like it'll be used msotly by hardcore trackdayers.

A cool sidenote:

The system activates when the bike exceeds 50 kph, and is inactive below that speed (so it would not deploy if a rider tripped and fell in the paddock, for example).

Correct link...although that lowside save is pretty epic

ok I have seen the airbags before. They were even testing the electrics (in the hump on the leathers) during the '09 TT. I figured it was the airbag system, but you're right, that save was pretty sweet.

The Goldwing's airbag in action if you've never seen it.

Drastic difference IMO between non-airbag and airbag
