Aha! The U.S. can claim the largest motorcycle. Possibly the ugliest one too. Everybody is super-sizing so this dude did his bike. Greg Dunham built a 25 foot long jumbocycle just because he could. It weighs over 3 tones and costs $300,000. He sits in a cage below to steer. Why? Because his buddies said it couldn't be done.
Implications - Sometimes size does matter and this ultimate objective can prove to be an end in and of itself for some innovations. Sheer novelty is a characteristic that shouldn't be underestimated with regards to the appeal that it can generate. The fact that a completely new kind of product can be made by simply upsizing an existing one is definitely one worth keeping in mind.
