Looks pretty cool from some angles. Not sure about the purple.

I like the idea and can see where they're going but it's "not quite" from me.

Love the rear 3/4 shot (bends, welds blah blah....), the front bothers me. It really reminds me of something but I can't think what.

It's different and well done, but not to my taste.

Interesting - some novel ideas.

Also not a fan of the purple & as for the front it sort of reminds me of Jar Jar Binks.

I really don't mind the purple. I like the idea of the silver/colour combo and every other c*nt has done red already...

Stylish. Not sure about that front end and the belly pan looks like a sheet of bent metal bolted on. Also a pity every shot is on the stand. Be nice to see it sat properly and also with the rider on board. Quite like it, don't want to own it. :D

PS The head on pic...it's almost as wide as it is tall. :lol:

Those wheel though! They must be pretty high end, or they're about to collapse.

Edit: Ah, carbon. So yes pretty high end! I was thinking the spokes would never work even in forged ally.

They're lovely, but pricey!

Love it. I think they have the stance spot on, the bodywork really complements that mahoosive motor, and I like the way most of the crap is blacked out so it doesn't jar.
Shame that they never photo it off the stands so you can have a slightly better idea of how it'll look irl

I figured out what the front reminds me of BTW. This is incredibly specific and off topic, hence why it took me so long :D It just popped up into my brain yesterday.

It's the way the roof windows are formed in the building behind the doctor's surgery I used to go to when I was a kid.

Now that's out of the way, I see no reason for disliking this bike :thumbsup:

An 'eyebrow' window. (Quite a common feature on bungalows built during a certain period in this area). Usually a little deeper than that.

If you hated visiting the doc, that bike would 'trigger' you. :lol:
