Ye gods, that thing's a road bike!
Have you ever tried riding a race-tuned 500cc two stroke on the roads?
I have, and it's one of those experiences you are glad to have done once and survived, but would probably never want to do again... :bugeye:

I find this a very interesting design. It completely changes the current design language for the motor cycle and that to me is always a good thing.
For me this connects back to when the introduced the Elise. That completely changed the way extruded aluminium was used in cars and to me was a real breakthrough. Let's see if this is just such a breakthrough.
Although in this design, I do wonder where my knees are supposed to go. Being heated by the radiator air?

The Ronax looks better!
cheers

Totally agree, production twin shocks went out in 1980 with Kawasaki Unitrak, 81 with Suz and Honda then the rest followed within two years.
Look at that fork rake just everything about it seems a publicity stunt with no R&D.
Looks good though, just for the collectors.
