I think it’s ugly and far too long…under 400lbs and 200hp is pretty neat though! ---

not a motorcycle person, but it looks bloated. Would prefer less body work and more exposed mechanicals. ---

+1. I think it would look sweet if there was less of a body on it. ---

I wonder how it handles. I’m def not impressed with it by looks alone. I really think it needs a single sided swingarm and different wheels plus the fairings make it look sort of fat. For $137k I’m sort of underwhelmed. ---

If they reduced the hang down underside of the belly of this thing I think it would look a lot better. Either way still a nice looking bike in my opinion. ---

I really think it needs a single sided swingarm and different wheels plus the fairings make it look sort of fat. For $137k I’m sort of underwhelmed. I’m sure it’s a fair price in some sort of way but I can’t justify that kind of cost for a motorcycle. If I had Trump money, then it’s just another electric scooter. ---

Looking at some of the specs it really is a mile long plus the steering head tube angle is well over 50 degrees. So based on that I’m gonna go ahead and say it won’t turn for shit ---
