750cc v-twin, 96bhp.

It's like an ugly 950 MultiStrada.

No idea on price, but I think I'd rather risk a chocolate cam 890/790 Adventure KTM!

It's very odd looking - almost like one team designed the engine, another team designed the fuel tank and fairing and no-one told the chassis team.

The screen needs to be higher. Anyone got a spare barn door?

Yup. It looks like the people that did the back half were given a completely different brief from those that did the front half.

Reminds me of this poor thing. :(

In the late 70s / early 80s the Road Transport Research Laboratory developed a safety motorcycle with some widely mocked features like crumple zone crash guards that would crush your legs and break your hips and a chest pad designed to stop you going over the handlebars but stove your chest in while doing so.
The back of that tank looks remarkably similar, God knows what it would do too your chest and pelvis in a frontal impact (like someone pulling out of a side road)

WTF would anyone release a bike with 96 horsepower these days?
It's neither 100hp to impress the Americans, nor 93.9 horsepower so a European learner could restrict it to A2.

When was the last time you had an eye test?

The only half good looking bikes are the smaller capacity X-Capes, not the Hideous™ 1200 tho.

650 and 700 do look nicest, quite like the corsaro sport, I think it was, fully faired. I'm just fond of a different badge these days. 🙂
