first snowbikes, and now this thing. how long before cat dives into a production model jetsnow?

why all these baby steps? can't we just skip to the end, and have a SNOWMOBILE that is narrow, low-drag, light weight, balanced, and over-powered?

Looks fun!

Honda made something similar in end of the 90´s.
But, if I understand correct, they never got it out for sale.
They only had it out for people to try it out, and check response... maybe, to much people got hurt;-)

Actually, the SnowHawk did take off... but, only for those who really gave it a fair chance;-)
I drove a Hawk myself for 8 years, and that´s probably the most fun machine I ever will have owned.

It´s true there are some similarities between this Honda and the Hawk (especially one ski), but with the Hawk you could sit down and drive, instead of standing all the time.

Huge stand up jet ski fan so that thing looks fun to me. Needs a tray on top so you can lock your feet in

my opinion- aesthetics. something about the hawk just looks weird.
