Looks like Aprilia going 1200cc & 90 degrees with their FV2 concept bike. Unclear if this power unit is by Rotax or Aprilia though.

What funny fork protectors it's got. I'll stick with my black rubber accordion gaiter thingies, they look much lighter.

Now THAT has an exaust!!!!!!
And like Xerxesdaphat pointed out, that front is just wrong, it's the only bad thing for me, rest of the bike is hot.

I don't think there are any telescopic forks in that front suspension.
The bike just looks like every other ugly-arse 'concept' bike to me, all blobbyness and weird proportions with curves and edges in the wrong places.

I'd buy it for the exhaust alone.:drool:
Front end looks different all right, but this looks like the kind of bike that pictures do no real justice. Know the flesh before you judge!
The components in the front end look like artwork, you'd pobably spend four hours just looking at it trying to figure out how it works.
Gaitors.....pfft go by a Harley Nightster:dodge:
What?

Have you ever thought of writing for a living? I'm serious.
Edit: No, not software.

*strokes beard thoughtfully*
Yes, but to be perfectly honest, I'd rather be an officer in the SAS.
:p
Unfortunately, several years of ill-advised marrying and breeding have left me in a position where I need to keep generating a certain level of income to service my obligations. Any significant branching-out career-wise will have to wait until I am a man of more independant means.

Fugly. And it looks to me like they pinched the rear suspension off an ER6.

Yes, well...I got to admit that it's a bit "out there" in the looks department, but then again, every new bikes seem to be going that way nowadays.
I might just go like a cut cat and handle like a dream for all we know...

Some think the Benelli TNT is ugly, same with the B-King - but this looks like it's out of Judge Dredd...

You're spot on mate. You can see a coil just below the clipons in the side-on shot. No idea how that works... Just by that you can see it looks like there's a front swingarm or some weird shit going on.
