Looks like a VERY expensive Cafe chop. | ||

Looks like it uses KTM running gear. The specs are identical to the 1190 - probably not a coincidence. Now if only you can find a qualified KTM dealer, as not all of them can service the road bikes. Still, it looks cool. | ||

considering it is supposed to be cutting edge. it could at least be a monoshock and maybe single side swing arm. nothing special except for the body work. | ||

It looks great BUT it doesn't look like it will be great to ride, or even pose on. It is not like a bike for a real biker type as it's stuck between a rock and a hard place not knowing its real purpose or intention. Not like it's a serious race bike. You wouldn't want to cruise far on it in that riding position. It's no tourer. Nor workhorse. It's only purpose seems to be the milkbar or Rock Store where the buz will be not riding it there or back, but parking it and to watch people look at it. Pity. Rocket in England | ||

Looks to me like the design parameters were "Let's build something that Jay Leno hasn't got." | ||

I'm guessing it's in Leno's price range.  | ||

I'm guessing it's in Leno's price range. Sadly Lotus will likely give him one given he'll never buy one but they could do with him to be seen on one  Rocket in England | ||

So a Lotus themed chopper? I am disappointed. Simplify and add lightness.... | ||

I have always liked the cars. I've never owned one. My brother had an old Esprit. God that thing was fun and it sounded just like Speed Racers' Mach 5. I like all the Lotus models pretty much except for maybe the Éclat. After seeing the chopper pick, now I'm wondering how long before we see Lotus pickup trucks and minivans and station wagons. Oh sorry, Lotus estates and lorries I guess it'd be. | ||

400 pounds, and that's without all the DOT bits added on. Wonder if that's wet or dry? | ||

I agree with Rocket. | ||

I just got sticker shock. NEXT! | ||

I though Lotus was about building light vehicles? | ||

Hey wait, it has an anti-hopping clutch! I hate it when my clutch hops | ||

The side view of the black one looks like one of the chopper guys got hold of a carbon fiber suitcase. G |
