Well it's definitely forward looking. I'd like to see them at least build a prototype.

While it's certainly not the prettiest thing I've seen, I'd still ride one.

So you're saying you wouldn't kick it out of bed for being ugly.   [moto]

Lots of room for sponser billboard space.

But I mean, it still looks like an ugly bike wearing the equivalent of a paper bag over it's head. 
They could have come up with something more innovative for the controls.
It's a billboard fairing over a traditional motorcycle. Lazy design if you ask me.

My guess is that it wouldn't perform very well in a cross-wind.

no.

Seriously. no.

simplistic.  boring.  yawn. zero personality.

Unless falling over qualifies as performing well.

I'm sure that billboard thing is just to set up some kind of Hype & anticipation of the motorcycle underneath. As in "Check back later"
That cant be the way the Bike is supposed to look.

Have you ever just barely cleared an obstacle with the front wheel of your bike while pushing it around in the garage?  This thing couldn't make it with that front end.  F-ing stupid. 

"Designers and engineers mastered the art of making a motorcycle function well by the end of the 20th Century in the opinion of Branko; every motorcycle you can buy will do what you need a motorcycle to do with equal competence."

Branko is challenged by the conformity of the manufacturers products: "motorcycle design has become mere fashion statement and all motorcycles look alike to me." Instead of copying what has been done so many times already, Branko is interested in "a brutally simple, minimal shape with lots of impact."-- this true to a point,but.......


This guy is either not a rider, hasn't ridden anything other than one of those HUGE new Victory spaceships or is completely full of crap/himself.
Probably all three.
Typical attitude of Designers/architects -"everyone else is so boring, only I have any creativity and can think outside the box, I will revolutionize the industry with my BRILLIANT design"
Some of these guys are so full of themselves.
This guy should go back to designing salad spinners.

Ahhh.  Much better.

I'd spank it.

Does it turn?
