Here's what I could pull from the article:

7 years or more from conception
It took 7 years to build

Future schedule (commercialization and price) etc. it is not revealed altogether
No clue cost or release date

both wheel drive which used the ceramic make twin rotor (ABS)
2 wheel drive with ABS

developing the individual handling mechanism, twin steering steering system "rod ended type twin steering system" of the telescopic fork adoption whose rear steering is possible.
2 wheel steering!!

water cooling 4 cycle engine... 249 - 998cc, adjusting to the taste of the owner
It goes fast.

The DVD navigation system is equipped in the cockpit, reproduces also the feature control ball/the ten-key. Speed/the battery/the tachometer are indicated with LED
