Wowza, that does look wild. I missed the last bike show in d.c., wonder if they had one there.

[SteveFord]

Doubtful, it looks like this was just announced.
I wonder how much I can get for a pair of used MMGs and maybe a Buell S1 that needs a gas tank repaint?
I'd imagine that is going to be one very expensive motorcycle.

I all Audio Circle members.
Nice bike.
I like the futuristic look of it.
The motor is how many cc ?
What's the estimated retail price.
How about after sales service in USA/Canada?
Often the prototype and the finish product is very different.
I did not see an headlight and turning flasher?
I will try to find Lotus website and see more.

The proud owner of a big 110cc automatic transmission (Variable ratio) Honda motorcycle,
and guees how much I paid for it?
Zero, nothing, Niet, rien... It was given to me by my wife's niece Tina.
(I posted her picture)
The most powerful bike I had in my whole life was a Honda CB360
and it was power enough and fast enough to kill myself.

Odd suspensions set: rear bishock and long fork angle on front.
Maybe it intend to perform well only long turns.

200 hp from a v twin......is it normally aspirated?

[mcgsxr]

Agree the fork rake looks WAY off for a sporting bike.  Frankly, it looks like a mock up chopper, with a fairing and cool paint jobs.

I remain totally doubtful that is in any way a true representation of what the street bike will look like!

That all said, it looks cool - if not sportingly functional.

It looks interesting and different, bet it’s not going to be cheap if it makes it into production.

[FullRangeMan]

Seems a cafe racer from a F1 fashion brand=expensive and no fun factor.
The best price/value bike I have seen was this WV bettle engine bike:

Fullrangeman commented "Odd suspensions set: rear bishock and long fork angle on front."

Well......at least its not as radical as the designer's earlier work.





 

The "Lotus" bike is the first actual design to be manufactured from the well known designer Daniel Simon. Best known for his work in CGI on movies like TRON Legacy, Oblivian, and Captain America. More info here: http://danielsimon.com/.

[FullRangeMan]

Interesting, this bike are operational or just to watch?

[SteveFord]

I'd watch somebody else ride it!

If the Lotus was a Colin Chapman product, it would weigh 114 lbs, and it would kill you.  I would like to have one, however.
