I does not want...

I'm all for neato bikes....but i don't dig it at all.

 

[BigJimmyW13]

Lol I think I'm in love. Other than the price tag that is. $100,000

 

[Travis]

I'd love to have that girder front end!

 

[BigJimmyW13]

yeah carbon fiber and kevlar. I love the simplistic design, however I think they could have chosen a better powerplant. I mean for being all carbon fiber and kevlar it still weighs 420lbs...

FUGLY.

It's not my style...don't mean it's not cool in someones elses eyes.

hahaha.....my 999 weighs around that.....and more than likely does everything better except be really comfy..ha

My head hurts looking at it.

Yeah I looked for the weight figure and also wasn't impressed. Same can be said the HP. It needs more!

Composites belong on artificial limbs and race parts.

i wonder if thats a guzzi motor.

Needs more HP..... 125HP on the street is plenty. My 999 is only 128RWHP with about 76TQ and it's a real quick lesson in self control in the city.

It says on their website that it's a Guzzi engine.

Hey David.....yep, thats got to be a Guzzi power plant! Does anyone else think the exhaust headers look way too large in diameter for any Guzzi engine I know about? Maybe its just the photo.......how about that girder front end? Talk about being too heavy, that thing looks like it could uphold a small block Chevy!

Yep more HP.. for $100,000... it needs more HP At least more than a my FZ1. I'm sure the peak torque figures are pretty comparable though.

Those look like covers on the exhaust. Also the girder is probably carbon and kevlar and not heavy at all. However I think it could easily hold up a small block. Those front ends have to be strong, think of the forces acting on it when you hit a big pot hole or hammer on the brakes.

that is loverly....... regards oldbiker

I wouldn't turn one down...

I've been to Estonia! There is a lot of Finnish money/design being pumped into the country from what I hear.

I suppose, for the money it should have a more motor to it.
