The seat doesn't look very comfortable.

[clonak]

Eww, please dont let them destroy motorbikes. Please. That just looks terrible.

[Banditbandit]

It looks very "designer" ... did he talk to any serious riders ???

[Big Dave]

Concept = devoid of practicality.

I like it as sculpture though.

[haydes55]

With audis trademark all wheel drive technology

[Maha]

It looks like what it would be good for......a Suppository.

Looks like you would slide over the tank under hard braking.

[Big Dave]

The problem with concept bikes is by the time they are dressed up for road compliance - number plate, legal indicators, side stand, bodywork extending past the back wheel, mirrors, rego holder etc they're not as sleek.

Am I the only one who actually kind of likes it..? Apart from the fact it looks like it'd give you a damn sore ass after any length..

[Laava]

Seen plenty of similar concept designs in the past but by the time they get to the bike shows they are completely different. For a start they have to make something they can sell to a large segment of potential customers.
Confederate have some similarities I think.

What a load of ............ issue number one. Audi are not dumb enough to delete the Ducati name.

Here's Hondas V4 'concept' bike ...........

I love it but like others have said how practical would it be?

[raziel1983]

Must have taken all of an hour to conjure that up?

[Banditbandit]

Here's Hondas V4 'concept' bike ...........

Fuck .. that's even worse than the Audi - talk about Ghey !!!

[PrincessBandit]

Eeeek my first thoughts were that it looked like the little insect thingys that attack the earth in "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

[Tagger]

Well, it's an ugly beast. But maybe that's just the point of concept bikes ... trying to look at things from a different angle.

I like it when they throw stuff like this in our face though, and hopefully they pick up the feedback when they work out 'real' designs.

[baffa]

The only way I could ever see Audi making motorcycles,
would be a cross of a GS1200 and a wingroad, with matching leathers, and crazy helmets designed to give NVH levels similair to a car.

..it looks like it'd give you a damn sore ass after any length..

I think Robbie is close with his length up your arse view. Perhaps a collaboration with Honda?

[Marmoot]

Suzuki got it better.
