Speed Triple 1200 RR Design Prototype

I guess it's just a half fairing, cos if it was a full one they'd call it a Gaytony, right?

Yep. It's a lovely engine. But I'm none the wiser after that.

I really don't know what I think to that.

Is it a sports bike, is it a super naked, is it a retro?

Sportsbike with faring bits excluded.

I like how it looks,but I don't want a sportsbike and those who do will probably buy...a sportsbike.

Agreed-styling-wise it's sort of like an updated 1960s style Thruxton or Bonnie-based cafe racer , and that awful Enfield bolt-ons special Weeksy posted earlier.

Am not convinced that there's much of a market for this one....

They'll maybe do a test of what you get for £18k.
