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  Wink

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

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.

All the king's men couldn't put Humpty back together again...

So they outsourced the work and the Germans turned him into a beemer.
