Easy Rider

"If I were to make the easiest possible motorcycle to ride, I would give the user a CVT transmission so they don't have to switch gears so often, bigger brakes to stop more quickly without engine-braking, and a small set of unmarketed 'training wheels' so the bike doesn't tip over so easily when making sharp turns. It'd also need to be light enough to be picked up and relatively unharmed by falling over. The training wheels could help this matter. I might add in an intelligent steering ballast for very low speeds to help balance the bike when the gyro effect is not in play..."
