Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
Odd looking beast.
Weird mix of old and new in there too. Not so sure about all of the fairing everything in. I like to see an engine! |

Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
That's one fugly bike. I guess that it's designed to appeal to those with more money than taste.

Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
It's beautiful.
 I would love to slowly peel away that carbon fibre bodywork to reveal the secret delights that lie beneath. But not too soon...let's just get to know each other first...for now I'll just caress your throttle a little...maybe we'll take a few corners together...there, you like that don't you?.... |

I really like that. Extrovert but classy. I like the fork shield things a lot too. I think they'll become more common over time. |

Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
Most pointless thing I've ever seen.
Doesn't look as comfortable as a Ducati Diavel and looks even worse. |

Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
Shocking their way into the market limelight I suspect. They'll probably build an actual bike for their second outing, rather than this steampunk cretin of a bike.

Re: Lotus Motorcycles C-01 First Look
Type "lotus c-01" into Google images.
Scroll down. You'll see the one I mean.  Not the orange lotus, the guy on the bike. Genius.
