Quite extraordinary.
"Klaus Beutler started with a plain white sheet of paper, and also lots of moulding foam, filler, a pile of fiberglass mats and epoxy resin."

Interesting read and startling look for the bike. It's bizzare that it began life as a 1998 touring bike. (see the red one below)
Much better photos halfway down the page at this link here...

Saying it's ugly is a bit like saying the Titanic only sprang a slight leak

Man - I tell ya. I've been zoomin around on the Megamoto.
It's now my second favourite motorcycle ever. They just go fantistique.

Just when you thought street fighters couldn't get any more wank...

It'll probably sell quite well.

Could almost kind of be cool... but needs quite a bit of tweaking. Like yod said... Way too bulky in the tank area.
Also, uh.. coming from a vertically challenged out look... How DO you get onto the seat? :blink::confused:

That bike looks almost identical to the start-from-scratch design-only prototype done by some Ocker that had a writeup in some recent bike magazine (Two Wheels, I think).
