By golly, I kinda like those. It's certainly a new look, blending tank and fairings like that. There is only so much that can be done with a motorcycle, and we have certainly been treated to the endless rehashing of old ideas, or ideas so far out there as to be totally impractical. These look eminently rideable as well as innovative. I'll take the green one, please...

nice seeing something designed by artists without a wind tunnel.
but it will also suffer for those reasons.

I wouldn't mind swinging a leg over one of those.
And Varmint, those look easier to tuck in on than some of the other abortions tooling around on the road these days (cough)V-ROD(/cough).

I need another pic to understand how the rear wheel is moving up and down.
Edit: the pivot is at the trailing edge of the cf fairing? Last edited by rusnak; 02-21-2014 at 07:02 PM.. |

Holy $hit! Look at those shiny, WD-40'd tires! I predict trouble almost immediately.

Looks like it would lumber thru the canyons. Stretched wheelbase or is this HD (not that HD but as in wide-screen).
