There are a couple on the pics that Celli put up that are pretty slick. They are definately shooting for some monster money.

yep, spittin' image of celli's bike, that's for sure  ;)

lol. I was thinking more in terms of the visual mass of the bike being primarily forward.  [beer]

Mind you, I think the tank/fairing arangement on this BMW has taken it too far.

However, as an exercise in design and marketing, it works - he wanted to build a bike to take to shows, to get his name out there, and this succeeds.

well, there's also the extra-stubby seat, the style of the hugger... stacked headlight...


but yeah, that's a crazy looking machine ^_^

I dig it because it's completely different. It does seem a little "form over function" as the seating-handlebar position looks a little awkward but it's not so far out "conceptual" that it's some non-working prototype for a bikeshow. Dig the "Lo-ryder" concepts also. I can't see BMW ever going through with either of these but it would be a pleasant surprise.

If you retag it with a Ducati emblem, this board would be up in arms. If it was made by Honda, no one would care.
