Interesting looking piece of kit.

I'm sure it will look great when its finished.

yes this a real bike that is actually going to be built......

Looks real comfortable to ride. It'll be a cnut to clean though.
Not my cup of tea, but viva le difference

I wonder how they make it float above the ground like that?

Lightweight materials....

WTF is a radial twin engine? Looks like an ornery V2 to me...

And that seat looks like it's only for show (form before function?)

Pretty awesome machine. Didn't notice much in the way of indicators, mirrors, or lights.

Wont be going very far, the chain doesn't even fit the back sprocket!

**Ducky848** · 22nd August 2009, 21:30

It aint gonna stop in a hurry with that little wee disc up front and the seat looks less comfortable than an RS125.

Pretty sweet to look at though..

Very nice render, but as oldrider said, if they've gone into that much effot to render the whole bike in 3D surely they could have atleast got the sprocket right. Also noticed that there is no brake pedal on the left peg, but there is a master cylinder just sitting out the side???

Looks pretty cool, but gives the distinct feeling that A LOT is missing like seeing a P-51 stripped down for restoration or something.
