Interesting. I like it. | ||
| Bartimus |
I like it. It's nice to see a return to beautiful bodywork that has smooth lines, as opposed to the transformers look, full of sharp angles. | ||
| Reepicheep |
I like it also, it's a neat modern retro design. I'd like it better as a narrow twin though. And that kind of bike should be balanced, not just all motor. | ||

Took me a few minutes to figure out what it reminded me of...  | ||
| Hughlysses |
^ Does that mean Tom Cruise will be riding one?  | ||
| Sifo |
At least it doesn't look like a box of broken razor blades. Who knows, it might grow on me. It looks more like a prototype thing to me right now though. Is that really the final version? | ||
| Jaimec |
I think it's HIDEOUS. Massimo Tamburini must be rolling over in his grave... | ||
| Crusty |
It makes me think of a Large Mouth Bass; but hey! the muffler is under the engine instead of under the riders ass. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Just so we don't have to go off-site to view the unspeakable beauty/loathsome hideousness of this bike:  | ||

I'd like to see what it looks like with turn signals, mirrors, and a license plate. Can they sell bikes in the US without a place for a passenger? Pegs, seat strap, etc.? | ||

Awesome I bet the price tag looks just as futuristic. (Message edited by figorvonbuellingham on August 26, 2016) | ||
| Fuzzz |
Well, it certainly is different... | ||
| Ourdee |
I would ride it. | ||

Neil you are being way too PC it is butt ugly and nonfunctional as a useful street bike. | ||
| Orman1649 |
I'm on the fence, it's definitely different. I'm curious as to how its "nonfunctional as a useful street bike" though.The riding position looks fairly similar to an 1125CR. Do you consider that nonfunctional as a street bike as well? | ||

Meh. The flyscreen looks like an afterthought- definitely NOT a fave of mine. Surely MV Agusta could do better. Whatever happened to Bimota? In another thread one showed up- I've always loved their bikes. | ||
| Pwnzor |
I'd like to see it in all flat black. | ||
| Hootowl |
 There you go. Self-taught photoshop. Pretty good, eh? | ||
| Hootowl |
You know, it kind of looks like Homer Simpson. DOH! | ||
| Figorvonbuellingham |
Anyone saying what the price will be? | ||
| Rick_a |
Competition.  The Mantra may finally get unseated for ugly bike honors. | ||
| Jaimec |
Competition? Or perhaps: Inspiration?  | ||
| Xdigitalx |
Looks like an e-bike. It kinda makes me wanna go ride. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Funny. That Mantra is one of the ugliest looking bikes I have ever seen, but I still like that new MV concept. Of course by the time it gets to production, it may loose its elegance and be ugly in person. And the angle they shot it at hides it's width, and (like the Ducati Hyperstrada) it may need to look skinny to look good. | ||
| Torquehd |
it looks... uncircumcised. | ||
| Figorvonbuellingham |
The F4Z is a hit.....that Mantra is a miss. It looks like a bigger version of that Hero diesel bike. | ||

"Can they sell bikes in the US without a place for a passenger? Pegs, seat strap, etc.?" Yes. Indian does it every day with the Scout. Where the law gets involved is if there is a pass seat you have to have pass pegs and the other way around too. | ||
| Figorvonbuellingham |
I think the F4Z needs one more headlight. | ||
