Honda VFR1200 engine with eccentric bearing cups on the headstock to allow different geometry, apparently these are just two illustrations of the possible configurations.

So it's a honda vfr1200 engine in a ariel frame.

Think I'd rather have the Honda.

The design is all over the place...it seems confused as to what it wants to be...looks unfinished in places and generally sucks.
Count me out.

I actually quite like the look of it. It's different but it would only sit in my garage after that elusive lottery win!  :moto:

I like the cruiser.  The Naked just looks like everything else you can buy.

The cruiser looks average shite, the naked looks high average shite....

Average price expected to be 25 to 30 grand!

Bankers' toy at that money...

Kind of cool design I guess, but wholly irrelevant to normal motorcyclists at that price point.
