So lazy. Was genuinely excited when I saw the thread title. Koenigsegg bikes would be nothing short of mental what with the kinds of engineering innovations they make and things their cars are made of. Carbon fibre monocoques, Free-valve system. IIRC they still hold the record for the most powerful engine - well, most BHP produced per kg of engine. Cool

Akrapovic riding position looks legs forward, and body leaning forward. So a sort of < shape. Can't really see that being comfortable. Although maximises the time bike parked for pose value while rider gets circulation back and muscle pains abate.

Put it a more upright riding position though and Vespa might be interested.

Looks like the designer didn't know that motorcycles have a tendency to lean over when going around corners.

I guess you would have to stop and lift the front wheel to hoik it around, when deviating from a straight line Smile

Designer would probably do better at designing hats for London Fashion Week.

I'm sure that's closer to the truth...
