How many seats in an AH-64 Apache?

Looks like four, two inside and two outside. Still think the buffeting from the windshield on your bike is bad?

Yep, it's a classic 2+2 seater. Fine for commuting and for that afternoon out in the twisties.

For longer rides and family holidays, I take the Mil Mi-26. Enough room, less buffeting and it runs tubeless radials.

What oil do you use? Dino or synth?

I'll bet having the intake right there in your ear makes for a real pleasant ride as well.

Those pictures look like they were taken in Europe.

Here's a good story to go along with those pictures

It was an Army Cav unit in Vietnam. Good try though!
