MEET the motorbike that transforms into a JET SKI and rides on water.
The Biski Motorbike is a gadget fit for Bond himself.
The high-speed motorbike is amphibious and can transform into a jet ski at the flick of a switch.
Riders can speed along the shoreline and then ride into the water, like the famous amphibious Lotus Esprit featured in 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me.
The staggering Biski Motorbike is the brainchild of serial inventor Alan Gibbs who has made a living from creating amphibious vehicles.
With a range of quad bikes, cars and trucks already under his belt, the Biski is one of three new vehicles being showcased this week at the American International Motorcycle Expo in Florida.
As well as being able to speed across bodies of water – the bike is also fully road legal.
Powered by a two-cylinder petrol engine, the Biski Motorbike can hit a top speed of 80mph on land and 37mph on water.

The amphibious cycle weighs in 228kg, which is a mere 9kg more than a land-only Yamaha TMAX scooter.
Swapping between land and water takes approximately five seconds.
Once it has transformed, the bike uses jet propulsion to power through the drink.
The front wheel rises up and out of the way in a bid to eliminate drag.
If the Biski is pushed into full production, the waterproof motorbike will only be availble in blue.
At the time of writing, no UK price or release date have been disclosed.
The nearest gadget-master Q got to the Biski bike was the modified Lotus Esprit that turned into a submarine during 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me escapade.
