Gizza go mister.

Nice, bar a couple of interesting design choices: CX500 headlight bucket, Harley Davidson rear indicators.

Question - why not put the rear brake on the left hand?

[Supermofo]

Like that other than the headlight.

I like how the brake fluid matches the wheels.

I like how the brake fluid matches the wheels.

It's all in the detail.

I wonder how true the 'simplicity of a 50cc bike with the power of a litre one' is?

Wouldn't mind finding out.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Seems like an ideal application for an EV...

Turn up in a van (badly parked on the grass verge, natch) and then hoon around in an area just behind someone's house, not driving very far but crucially also not making much noise, then put it back in the van

I liked the standard FX I rode. Plenty of poke instantly, really good at getting up steep inclines and over logs.

They are really good for riding off road next to one of those new housing estates, populated by owners that complain about the noise made by bees and birds.

[Taipan]

Love it.

Harley Davidson rear indicators

Are they buggery, HD indicators would strip 25 miles off the range in additional drag.

[demographic]

I quite like that, plus have always liked the idea of quiet bikes so lecky gets my vote.

OK they're not HD but they are that typical Cruiser style with the tail/brake/turn lights all in one chrome bullet housing.
Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the bike's style, more like they forgot all that stuff and found a quick fix.

Nice.Bet it's good fun.

In the interests of nit-picking the swingarm number plate mount & bi-colour wheels need to go.

[Whysub]

Yes, what's with these bi-cloured wheels. There seemed to be quite a few at EICMA with them.

I seem to remember Aprilia did this a few years ago (was it the SVX?) and thought it died a natural death after that.

[Skub]

I thought the pics were before they made it nice.

[Dickyboy]

Don't think I'd care what it looks like once I'd given it a go, would be ace for silent blatting round town, although I think I'd prefer for people to hear me coming given how fast it undoubtedly accelerates.
