Beautiful car, Weld!

Streamlining is the word! But it is of no concern for dual sport riders!

As far as the snail goes, the feelers are too much. Poor design choice IMHO. They should have kept closer to that "Streamliner" look and won over a few retro lovers, get product placement in the next james bond etc.

But then, who is the target market for this? The top 0.1 percent of income earners in Northern Europe, say 150000 people or so, but not all are going to ride a mc. so they probably aim at a production run of 5000 bikes and market it to those "elites" who think they are "high tech". I suspect a few North Americans will get one too, in the bigger cities, where that thing doesn t get laughed off the street but means "hey i m european, electric and i was dear", like an expensive watch or pushbike.

in australia, no one is going to bother to import it.
