Aprillia Mana X concept

[Travman]

I was starting to think I was getting old and didn't like the styling of any new bikes, but I dig this weird little bike.  I like the trellis frame and the black rimmed spoke wheels.  I like the braced look of the swingarm.  The radiator is pretty well integrated.  The headlight doesn't offend me as much as any of the headlights from Ducati's new naked bikes.  What do you think?

Above was designed by the same guy who created the original Ducati Monster -- Miguel Galluzzi. (it's his first project for his new employers after leaving the Cagiva Group)

i actually really like the look of this brutish little thing.  Looks like it's itching for a fight

[Grrrly]

It's Hypermotard-ish, but without the good looks.

Looks like it has a little Confederate in it, too.

If the bike was brought to market it would need legal directional signals, a horn, catalytic converter for the European market, an exhaust and intake system that meets tightened sound restrictions, an evap canister for all US states that require CA specs and a big ass rear fender.  Compliance would change the looks of the bike significantly.

I could see Mel Gibson falling off it in "Mad Max: The Golden Years"... but otherwise - yuck.

[Jarvicious]

Aren't those hybrid tires?  With that kind of ground clearance?

Either way....yeah.  I'd hit it.

[rsoffar]

personally i think its pretty ugly.
to each their own.

I saw this bike in person at the Milan show - I really liked it! I'd buy one! Husky had a cool bike that was kind of similar.
