No, you mean class.

I'm not quite sure which way round it goes :D


And yes, it is classy, in a weird sort of way...

I've voted don't know / don't care - and that's not because I don't care, I just don't know! It looks very strange and I can't fathom how it goes round corners though I'm sure it's quite capable. I'd like to see one in action!

I always thought it looked a bit similar to one of the bikes in the Akira film 8), i wonder if the designer was a fan? :lol:

:smt104 Looks like someone stripped their bike and put it back together wrong

Different and bad ass. I kind of like it. Not pretty but that ain't always a bad thing.

Edit: Not sure I would trust that steering arrangement...

Edit 2: The more I look at it the better it looks. It actually looks fecking cool and futuristic now and I'd love one but only if they removed that air intake from the left hand side.

I would want dual intakes, even if one is a dummy just for balance.

Mind you, dont they come with a £30k price tag?

I wouldnt kick it out of the garage for farting. But then I would rather have the db5. Now that is a work of art.:smt060

I agree to it being ugly from that angle, but that wouldn't stop me having a ride on one.:p

Hovis,

I thought we polled to ban you from polling yesterday?? BTW proper strang w buts would get a place in the shed - well if I had a shed that is.

Visually unconventional that is for sure. I am sure the ride far outweighs any misgivings on the beauty front!:p

Looks like the designer got sh-t faced half way through the design and could not make up his mind which was the front and back.
i like it in a strange way though. I have seen one like it before but cant remember were :???:

Looks totally FAB. Function over form in the extreme....plenty of oily bits to look at, plus you'd never have to do a U turn again!, Just select reverse gear and off you go. Very Transformers :cool:

I absolutely love this bike. The 1D was OK but this 2D is unfeasibly stunning. I think Bimota are working on a 3D now. If only i was unfeasibly wealthy too.
