Derbi debuts concept motorcycle with built-in cameras and LCD

We've seen motorcycles with GPS receivers, heads-up displays and airbags, but Spanish manufacturer Derbi looks to be taking motorcycle gadgetry into more dangerous territory, recently unveiling a concept bike tricked out with four cameras and an an LCD monitor. The Mulhacen 659 X-Vision looks to be an impressive enough motorcycle in its own right, but the real excitement comes when you flip on the recording unit and start capturing your ride from every direction, including, it seems, a shot of your own mug -- which should nicely catch the look on your face the moment you fly off into the woods because you've been staring at the screen instead of the road. This being a concept, however, you likely won't be able to get one anytime soon. Of course, it would be a fairly simply task to rig up your own setup on any old motorcycle -- not that we'd ever encourage such a thing.
