Interesting stuff, I took this from one of my other sites

http://www.evanscooling.com/

1) Non-corrosive (unlike water).
2) Non-Toxic
3) Higher boiling point than water
4) Requires less coolant system pressure (safer).
5) Lasts the life of the engine (never have to replace!).

On their site, they said that the cooling system needs to be totally drained of all water based coolant (engine included).
It needs to have less than 3% water in the system.
They have their coolant flush to remove water from the system.

Then after flushing, you add the actual coolant.
So the initial cost will be higher (flush and coolant).
But unless a serious failure occurs that can cause major loss (hose or water pump seal), no more coolant should ever be required.
If you need to drain the coolant, keep it and pour it back in.

It sounds pretty logical to me.
Water is a very good conductor of heat, but it's also chemically active.
Especially where dissimilar metals are involved.

If you make the coolant chemically inert, then corrosion should not occur.
Sort of like placing a bar of pure iron in a container filled with inert gas, such as argon. No oxygen, no rust.

And since the the coolant has a much higher boiling point than water, there's no real need to pressurize the system as high (as needed with water to raise it's boiling point).

The only disadvantage I see is the initial purchase of the coolant, and the required draining and flushing of the entire system.
However, once that is all said and done, the coolant is there for the life of the engine.

Pretty radical stuff to me, despite being around for 30+ years, it appears.
Check out some of the links to articles on their web site. Interesting reading.
Especially the ThumperTalk link (for bikes).

Think it will work in my bike?

Sure, pour in the gas tank and that bike will remain cold as in never run again. It is a HD knock off so that would be normal

Huh, cool stuff. Ha! Get it?

sounds like the engine ice im currently running in my bike and not happy with.

Waterless is a great alternative for those with rotting magnesium parts due to electrolosys.

Evans has some odd claims, and never really hit mainstream. People with Cannondales run it because of the magnesium engine parts... Evans odd claim is that the coolant sucks all the heat out of the engine parts and the coolant takes on all the heat, making cylinder head temperatures lower.... Not sure anyone has ever really proven that.

In reality red line water wetter and engine ice have proven lower engine temperatures. I personally use them unless waterless is needed, for instance if magnesium engine parts are used.
