Well, the headlamp assembly looks ugly - why are manufacturers going for the hunchback look nowadays? Other than that, could be a nice ride. Would like to see a touring version, with fairing and shaft drive.

Interesting I struggle to see who might buy one though... maybe on continental europe where big scooters are popular, this would make a stylish alternative.

I remember hearing about a similar bike being developed (I think by derbi?) that looked alot cooler...

Although not entirely my cup of tea, its got some nice new features and design ideas

Not convinced on the automatic transmission idea, I like the feel of a manual gear change.

Why are they putting all these sharp edges all over the place? Is it supposed to make it look fresh, cutting and funky?

They look too complicated and frankly, a mess.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, this sort of style looks gash.

This is probably a really stupid question, but if your helmet is in the petrol tank where does the petrol go?

I like the looks of it though, would be great as a manual

Under the seat, just like the BMW F650.
