With more and more car developers making hybrid and electric cars, Suzuki is exploring the concept of hybrid motorcycles with their crosscage, a fuel cell powered bike with a unique engine and body design.
Crosscage's air cooled fuel cell designed by British company Intelligent Energy helps slim down this design by eliminating the need for a radiator or coolant system. Located just above the hydrogen fuel tank, the fuel cell is very compact, light, and powerful. It sends power to the motor controller which stores it in the lithium ion battery or sends it to the motor. Through combining oxygen in the air and hydrogen from the fuel tank to create power this motorcycle's exhaust is only water vapor thus helping reduce CO2 emissions and protect the environment. On a single tank of hydrogen the crosscage can travel about 200km and has the power equivalent of 125ccs.
The crosscage from which the motorcycle gets its name is not merely an aesthetic choice but also protects the hydrogen fuel tank which is located directly behind the intersecting point. There is also a sensor at the top of the chassis which constantly checks for hydrogen leaks and shuts off the fuel tank if there are any abnormalities.

Avoid vaccines, they contain mercury, aluminum, MSG, aspartame, formaldehyde, squalene etc that cause diseases like ADD, autism, Lupus, Gulf War syndrome, Lou Gehrig's, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, asthma, arthritus, depression etc. Now the WHO is pushing 4.9 billion H1N1 vaccines to be made & used throughout the world..hmm
perhaps it is boring, but if you want to test new technologies on bikes, you might as well stick to a shape which people are familiar with. Especially bike riders tend to keep away from anything that looks unfamiliar. The commercial failure of the Yamaha GTS is a prime example of that attitude.
This bike is sweet. sure the seat is lame. but this is a prototype. 125 is ALL someone in town should need, especially if there were more light traffic. Hello? Awesome.

It's in so small amounts that you would need to vaccine yourself like 1000 times before it would be dangerous.
