    More Italian eye candy

    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 came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    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.

    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
