[Murray]

I actually like it but it looks bloody uncomfortable

...where would you sit muzz, under the seat...looks more comfortable than anywhere else...

[AllanB]

Hmmmm I just don't know about that.

[Laava]

The biggest pissoff would be having to dip your head to see the gauge cluster.

[FlangMasterJ]

I think it's stunning.

[husaberg]

Looks like it was in Alien

A cafe is meant to look like a race bike what race bike look like that.

[Banditbandit]

Hmm .. no - I'll pass.

[AllanB]

I've read a lot of talk on the Web about this design - lots of accolades about its form. It's been bugging me as I was sure I've seen it before - yep - the original Target Design MV, a design which was a few years later morphed into the now iconic Suzuki Katana.

The Prototype 2 with the single round headlamp is nicer than the Prototype 3. Those sweeping pipes look stunning!

Yeah the left one looks close to the ground on one cornering pic.

I've always been a bit pipe fan. I seriously should buy and learn to use a tig welder and start playing. Maybe when I get made redundant from work later in the year (he says hopefully).

I was looking at the new Z900 today and thought the pipes looked OK until I realised half the mid-pipe was just a shield to look like a mid-pipe. It was all hidden in the cat behind the fake cover. Bloody stupid cat converters.

[OddDuck]

It's a head turner all right but yeah it does look like it was designed by H.R. Giger and ripped off an Aliens movie set.

Not to shabby to be fair more to the point the likely buyer being a born again blah blah would find it easy to locate even with his failing eyesight when parked amongst the sea of Harleys at said cafe.

Other than the alien in Alien
it also reminds me of this 1990s bike only the p addicts version

Rather than the Hulwick which realistically is a rip-off of the early Britten
That thing looks like they took a design que from a early 50s Gilera 500 racebike
