Reminds me a little bit of the CR&S bikes

 ??? ??? I try to keep up with the fast moving world of exotic bikes, but this is a mystery. Is it just a mock-up, or has metal been cut? A few years ago, I was in France on holiday, and was lucky enough to go and look around the Voxan factory, near Clermont Ferrand. In light of what happened there, I wish this new venture more success, but with the world credit crunch biting harder it is hard to see a happy outcome. Looks fab though!

Except the CR&S bikes are Harleys that have been attacked by a an army of mad Italians with pens  [puke]

It looks like each little fiddling bit was designed entirely separately, then bolted together in the dark.  And why are they so long with such a tiny pillion space?

Beautiful. Sort of a cross between a KTM Super Duke and a Streetfighter with some goodies thrown in. They didn't even have to go too far outside the box of normal thinking to come up with an elegant, sporty, good looking design.  [thumbsup]  [thumbsup]

Thanks to the ADV... it appears to really exist.

but my question is... does it violate Ducati's frameless patent?
