French Midual bike

What are your thought on this? I would like it more with a straight pipe. Been a while since a F/R configuration has shown up.

Found this and some others here. http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20141023-rockets-from-the-crypt

The line up of nine new bikes includes the Ariel as in Geeens post.

That's certainly more attractive than some of the other "revivals"...

First glance I liked it then the more I looked the more I spotted pieces I didn't like.
Mufflers wrong. Low straight pipes would look better.
Brown seat and knee pads. Not liking.
Rounded radiator guards make it look like they tried making the tank part of the engine in a circular shape.
Front mudguard looks like it had an extension added as an afterthought to stop stone strike on front cylinder.
Im not sure if the headlight suits the bike much.

It is an interesting bike though but im not sure I could love it longtime. More likely a quick fling with something unusual.

Like the engine design, interesting. Rest of the bike looks kinda like a Moto Guzzi Breva with anorexia.

If I had (presumably US$) $185,000 to spend on motorcycles, I doubt very much that my shopping list would include that thing.
It's interesting, but not appealing to me.
