If would go good with a Batman suit for holloween,

It is rather frightful, isn't it? Clearly an artist's conception of something, but too many necessary details are left out for it to be a motorcycle. Like a place for the rider to place his feet and hands. The space forward of the seat is full of bodywork, so no room for legs or feet. Rearsets would put the riders chest over the instruments. The bodywork also eliminates any possibility of lean, as the ground clearance is near zero. The sketch at the bottom of the linked page shows the rider inside the bodywork, but apparently the artist realized that left no room for minor details like an engine or fuel. Question marks on the sketch show that the artist also was uncertain about the need for a front wheel - by leaving it out he has also eliminated the need for those pesky handlebars. Maybe this is the motorcycle equivalent of a driverless car - the rider can just stay home while the bike carves up the twisties.
 
You can have it in your dreams. Most Yanko Design "projects" never get past the 3D computer generated modeling stage. The designer of this thing hasn't spent much time in the saddle, I'd reckon.
