The Ronax looks better!

Have to agree with you.
A triumph of fantasy over function. Sure as hell couldn't ride the damn thing ..
Looks like a rather gaudy trilobite .... :palm:

Ah come on you blokes. you probably said the same about bikes that looked like the Ronax in comparison with the Norton.
And hurumphed about electric start.
Like your fathers did about telescopic forks and swinging arm suspension (what's wrong with girders and rigid rear end?)
Those Lotusses (Lotusi?) look beautiful. I would love one even though I could no longer scrunch down to ride it (not to mention the fear factor).
And it's British design. Italians, eat your hearts out!

BaronJ:
Good day Jim,
I couldn't agree more ! Like you say, its a dream machine.
I'm too old to even consider riding one, but yes, its British and we poms should be proud of that...

Agreed, looks far too slippery to me! I thought that twin shocks were old hat as well?!

Wouldn't look quite as sleek with lights and a number plate on the back.
