Many 1980's TV-series have become reality by modern technology. Do you remember those series like "Knight Rider" or "Streethawk", where the hero had awesome wonder car or motorbike, and "Streethawk" heroes equipment had also weapons? That vehicle was a heavily modified computer controlled motorcycle. That kind of motorcycles will work perfectly because the remote operator will change systems for the driver, and if you mean kill systems like guns and grenade launchers what are installed in motorcycles cover doesn't work think that twice.
All systems in that fictional super motorcycle are remote controlled, so the driver is needed only one single button to take a control with them. Extreme high speed for that motorcycle will create with electric motors. The motorcycle would be hybrids, what can change between combustion and electric motors. The picture what is above text is a picture of Yamaha robot motorcyclist. So tomorrow we might meet also robot law enforcement who drive with motorcycles. They might search for people who want to harm motorcycle-drivers.
But modern technology will make this kind of bike to operate without remote control. If the modern driver would have the user interface what could operate by eye look and that is the same kind of system what is used by Stephen Hawking. And that kind of super bikers helmet might also be equipped with infrared cameras and HUD visions. Controlling computers might put to cases of that bike, and normal laptop could be enough to control that thing. Those series were quite popular, but those day's technology was not enough to build real things of that kind of equipment. Those "Streethawks" were totally imagination, but do you know that those series have a connection with real life.
Special Forces have special equipment for their missions, and that means that they have hybrid motor scooters, motorbikes, and cars what can move silent near the target, and some of those vehicles are equipped with forwarding shooting machine guns and another kind of weapons what sometimes can harm even heavy armored vehicles. Those kinds of weapons are grenade launchers what can use high explosive antitank grenades to target.
Sometimes intelligence services have put rocket launchers like bazookas to their cars mask. Those weapons can be very lethal. But nowadays technology will make even motorbikes as a robot. If that vehicle will be equipped with keel sensors and remote control motors and other electronics will put to the motorcycle it could be drive semi-autonomous. The control system can communicate with supercomputers via mobile Internet, and that computer might help local system with it massive calculating capacity. Or the driver can replace with, a humankind of robot what is developing under control of DARPA or in this case Yamaha. And motorcyclist mask will cover that robots silhouette, that people can't recognize it as the machine.
