    Citroen car designer- maybe they can come up with a stunner bike as well

    Bugger me I'm not usually into car stuff but who has seen the concept car from Citroen in today's DomPost. The Metisse. So beautiful it's hard to believe the company that has made some of the most dog ugly cars for almost a century can come up with something as gorgeous as this. Sorry I can't attach a picture. Diesel capable of 250kph, gull wing doors and lots of other clever goodies like the front passengers head rest attaches to the roof - this apparently gives better forward views from the back seats. I'll do a search to see if Citroen have it on the web anywhere.
    edit- notice how I cleverly connected this non bike subject to bikes!

    Yeah that's the Baby OAB, thanks

    Your efforts much better than mine. This is poor quality but it gives you an ideal. What sort of bike could this person dream up? Please...
    Just take a squiz at the door mirrors- art, form AND function
    It looks like a two seater but has four doors. front gull wing and rear swing outward or something.

    For Citroen that is very nice, designers pushing the limits of design once more.
    Looks long and sleek. The back is different though when so use to seeing boots it seems odd when someone trys to be different, good on them for putting the concept out there.
    I wounder if the person who designed that has designed a bike and if they haven't they should defenitly give it a go.

    Stop dreaming peasant. You'll never be able to afford one anyway. All academics like you are poor because they can't get real jobs.

    Best you stick to cheap 2nd hand Guzzy's

    hmmm i'd go for one of those. And if it runs on diesel then surely it'll run on an avgas/waste oil mix too... could be a cheap runner.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
