Needs JPS livery
Pure garage bling if that's what you're in to.
Apparently absolutely nothing to do with Hethel and purely a marketing stunt.
I'd like to think that if Lotus genuinely brought out a motorcycle, it would have genuine Lotus DNA with challenging and innovative technology and be characterful, fun, flawed but brilliant.
Bit like what Eric Buell did.
does nowt for me, just looks 'wrong'
Fugly, :tongue:

I'll pass.
:puke: enough said!
Looks comfy!
And doesn't actually exist outside of a computer either!
It's the sort of thing I would quite like to see made to feature in a film, I think in it's own way it's quite good looking. As a bike for the road its a pointless exercise.
That rake tends to suggest it would only be hyper in straight line and not really enjoy corners
From the MCN:
"The C-01 motorcycle is not designed, engineered or produced by Group Lotus plc but is the result of a collaboration between motorsport veterans under the leadership of Kodewa, led by Dr Colin Kolles. The development on the C-01 was carried out with the support of Holzer Group (co-owners of Kalex) and design guru Daniel Simon."
I'm actually relieved.
