I dig it, but it is kind of chunky looking.
I'd say it's leaner than the new Guzzi.
wow, that engine! do my eyes deceive me or is that a centrifugally-supercharged 6 cylinder??
[thumbsup] It is a very narrow angle V6. Go onto the Horex website. It's brilliant!
That's almost perfectly ugly. If you could build a motorcycle out of Legos, it would look like the Horex. I like the name though, Horex...sounds nice.

Not as ugly as the new Monster. :D

Haven't had a chance as of late. :D
I like the styling. Price point will be steep & the heft keeps me from opening my imaginary checkbook...

I hear that. The engine is awesome.
They put a VW engine in a bike?
It's been done.

I couldn't quite describe it, but you nailed it with the Lego comment.

Just hope Harry Potter doesn't get confused. He'll try to destroy it. Which would be easy, because there is so much plastic on it.
Horex is an old german motorcycle brand. They build quite nice and reliable bikes in the 50s and 60s.
As a german duc rider it's hard to see what's going on here. The motor concept is interesting but the bike's design is so horrible.
At the same time BMW is doing much better job. But a Duc will always be the best.
