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!

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.

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...) |
