    Pod filter is what it is!

    I would have one of those! Love the single side arms at both ends plus the outside brakes (Buell inspired as the exhaust!)

    OH and intereesting location for the radiator!

    It would be great with some hard luggage and a sheepskin seat cover.

    I like it too. Wouldn't want to ride it for more than an hour at a time by the looks of it though. My chiropractor would just love it...

    Remember who also used that position for a radiator? None other than John Britten, with great success iirc. Instead of laying across the bike, generally being the wider part, you lay the rad under the tail section, ducting air through the bike and onto the radiator. I think John purchased the rights for it from someone, not sure why it isn't widely used (surely someone here can point out why). The add-on effect is you can design the fairing as wide as the engine and chassis, not the rad.

    Well, how can you tell without some specifications?

    It's a V twin. That's all I can tell .

    Seriously what is with the faggotty influence that seems to have crept into biking these days, where all people seem to care about is what a bike LOOKS like. How does it GO . That's what matters. Leave the what it looks like stuff to Maurice, and his mates who ponce up and down Queen St.

    Surely only a pouf would judge a bike on what it looks like? Yet every time a new bike is discussed , all the discussion seems to be around looks. Will it go with my new toothpaste suit? Does it complement my new handbag? Will I need to get my hair restyled to go with it?

    Give me horsepower. Fork trail. Weight. Seat angles. Gear ratios. Torque curves. That sort of stuff is all I care about. Who (except Maurice and Co) cares what the plastic shit looks like?

    FFS , we're supposed to be bikers. Not hairdressers.

    Hell I'd go even further than that Ixion mate! The only thing that really matters... is it fun to ride? So it looks very trendy, but wot's go like guvna?

    What is happening with you lately Ixion? Over the past few days you've turned into a monster. And the profanities, my word. Tell Uncle Finn all about it.

    Huh? You guys are like you've never seen it before? Its at least a couple of years old and was built by some guys at American Honda. The motor is a pretty standard VTR1000 Firestorm. Think it was 2004 when it was first displayed, WSBK at Laguna?

    Is that the mock up idea that they had late last year/early this year for the VTR replacement I'm thinking. I like it (but then again I like the MT-01 to).

    This must be a PT. Passion is what bikes are about mate. Some talk about looks some talk about abilities, most I think care a great deal about both.

    Copying the Britten I think.

    I kinda like it except for the exhaust set up. The single sided front end would be a bit of a worry too and that front disk looks like they borrowed it off the space shuttle.

    On second thought....... it sucks!
