It's hideous alright, but I'd like to play with the 1916cc V-twin!

I like it, strange use of the pods though. Looks like it's nose got put on above it's eyes.

I still don't understand why anyone would put the exhaust under the bike.

I like it for the same reason I like my Buell... it doesn't look like anything else on the road.

Wonder where the fuel goes? Under the seat?

I like that engine a lot. They need to develop the unitary version they talked about; that would let them knock ~1 foot off the wheelbase of that bike.

They were originally developed for long distance racing to allow a quick change of the rear tire without having to pull the chain. Seems now that they are just for design especially on consumer bikes. I like them personally because I like the look of the wheel design. Not that one above but the wheel on that new VFR is gorgeous.

Wonder where the fuel goes? Under the seat?

It appears to go in the frame, wonder where they got that idea...

Dark tinted flyscreen would look neat!

One has to wonder how much a bike like that would cost, all that crazy engineering that went into it...
