Erm, pardon me genlemen...but,

Like an industrial accident on wheels (and/or a first class visual atrocity)

Bob Hancock 10-21-2008 06:26 AM

But it has a Buell front brake rotor. So there's the heritage connection.

Is that really a plastic composite frame instead of metal? Cold Flow? Frame Flex? WOW!

Their one CAD drawing says the material is 7075 aluminum. Milled from billet it would seem.

I like the large capacity fuel tank and the fact that its a group of Italian boys thinking outside the box(er).

I'm wondering how much (if any) weight savings they realize from the single-sided front half-fork.

I'm still waiting for someone to put an electric generator right on the back end of a boxer engine and feed power to a pair of electric motors in the wheels, thereby tossing the tranny entirely and making a "hybrid" motorad. I don't have the money or the time, mostly the money.

The oil cooler is absolutely in the WRONG location. Gonna take rock hits out the arse.

HugoVW 10-22-2008 08:21 AM

Just for the record...they're Spanish not Italian ;)
A lot of work they put into it and it seems the guy knows what he is doing (check the Kneeslider for more info...)

Moybin 10-22-2008 08:53 AM

My bad, Spaniards! At least not Chermans!
