Top 10 Weirdest Motorcycles
1. The flying motorcycle
The ‟Super Sky Cycle” was created by Larry Neal, a former test pilot from North Texas. It is able to fly at 70 mph and on the ground runs at 300 mph. This invention looks like a combination of a helicopter at the top and a three wheel motorcycle at the bottom half. Neals calls it a "fly-drive vehicle".
