Motorcycles are not as cool as they used to be.
The EMBRIO Advanced Concept is a one-wheeled recreational / commuting vehicle, designed by Bombardier Recreational Products. Although the riding position is similar to that of a motorcycle, the vehicle uses sensors and gyroscopes to balance up to two passengers on a large single wheel whilst driving.
