Clean lines no fluff, unlike a 'Busa. Not bad for a 23 year old design. I'd own it! And check the rear brake, looks like a ZTL. http://imgur.com/7wV11.jpg | ||

Nice. I think the front brake might be to. | ||

Heheh. Hold on to those clean lines comments till you see the other side  | ||

That is one of the coolest bikes I've ever seen! The brake is definitely a perimeter brake, but I highly doubt it's ZTL. That's why EB/HD has the patents on ZTL- a system that allows a perimeter rotor to "float". | ||

Isn't a perimeter brake by definition a ZTL, as in Zero Torsional Load transmitted through the wheel spokes? It wouldn't be patent infringement for a prototype, but they would have to pay licensing fees if they wanted to put it on a production bike. Sure looks like a floating rotor to me too. A rotor that size almost has to float. | ||

wouldn't be the first time someone stole one of EB's licks... wonder how it runs through the turns.... very 'tron-like'. | ||

Heh, reminds me of the Ford Taurus they dressed up in RoboCop as the 'car of the future'. I think they called it the S.U.X. 3000; it had similar lines and aluminum paint scheme. | ||

That was the 6000 SUX. A '77 Olds Cutlass Supreme  The police cars were '85 Taurus. http://robocoparchive.com/info/thecars.htm | ||

That's right, and it had the mid-eighties Cutlass hubcaps too. Why did I like that movie so much in my youth? Also, shouldn't EB be getting some royalties for the ZTL setup on that bike? | ||

It's listed as shown at the '86 Tokyo Motorshow. Methed, They didn't put them in production so I doubt it. Did Erik even have a patent on them back then? If so that should have expired years ago. The Nuda was a cool concept. It and the RADD inspired many dreams. I still love single sided suspensions. | ||
| Phelan |
Actually the more I look at it, the more it reminds me of the Goldfish snacks. | ||

"Hold on to those clean lines comments till you see the other side" Midknyte.... both sides look the same to me. What am I missing...? ~SM | ||
| Danger_dave |
They should have called it the NADA. | ||
| Midknyte |
In the first pic, you don't see the business end of the single sided forks...  | ||
| Ezblast |
Still looks pretty cool. EZ | ||
| Phelan |
It looks to me like it may be 2WD? | ||
| Danger_dave |
They had it way back-er when-er-er.  | ||

It reminds me of that cheesy 80's movie "Cyclone". If Heather Thomas wasn't in it,I wouldnt have been able to finish watching it. |
