Seems to be a cool bike.









from the article:
A racebike by nature with all necessities for the road. A racebike - ready for road.
Sometimes little facts are necessary to express a clear statement:
>> 500 ccm
>> V4 2-stroke
>> limited to 46 units

18 pictures, video, and details

Pretty cool, although it smokes a bit much for me to think it could be made street legal. Still, a 2-stroke V-4 would be a fun track bike.

I feel the need
the need to put that on a trailer; after it has been painted with red accents and festooned with squadron stickers
to be pulled behind a truck
on a trailer and crank up the Kenny Loggins

.... it gives me GPz flashbacks

The specs say a 11,500 redline, it sure didn't sound like that in the video. Didn't sound like a V4 either.

I'm sure they will sell the entire production run with no problems, even at €100K. There are plenty of rich track day addicts wanting toys out there who will be willing to pay for exclusivity and excitement.

If I won the lottery I'd have one in my office : )

"Doesn't sound like a V-4" It is a twin crank 2 smoke. The cranks could be timed "big bang" so it sounds like a twin. That would also take the edge off the peakiness a little.

The air box looks like it is a disc valve engine too. Now I have Moto-wood.
