New 2-Stroke 8 cylinder modern monster

Reminds me of the typical bike that was designed by a committee of non-motorcyclists.

Always more power, with no concern for balance and handling.

It looks unfinished to me. Like they polished some parts to try and make it look done.

Additive manufacturing is ideal for pipes though. Pretty sweet.

I see no practical use case for it as a registered daily driver or even a closed course race bike. They couldn't mass produce these affordably, so what you'd end up with is a collector's item and/or museum piece.

What's wrong with a collector bike?
Pointless technology got us where we are today in motorcycles. I prefer excess tech over boring repetition myself. Otherwise we would all be on scooters and never know there could be more.

It makes me think of the original V-Max, which didn't handle or brake particularly well, had a strange riding position, looked odd and wasn't the fastest thing around...but I could bang up through the gears on one all day long and never stop giggling.

I think that swing arm should be anodized black... It's FUGLY.

Nothing wrong with a collector bike- but that wasn't the point of my post. Very few motorcycle owners and enthusiasts are in a position to collect and maintain exotic bikes. I'm a Luddite and don't really care for technological advancement in every aspect of life. It's too all-consuming and suffocating trying to keep up. I made a great living in Electronics including defense, Satellite, Video, security, modems, internet, broadband, mobile phones and more. Still, I prefer to live by the K.I.S.S. principal and really don't care for any tech advancements beyond 1979. Whatever floats your boat, go for it and be happy.

I'd say this is the prototype. Hopefully the production model (though limited) is a bit more finished looking.

 If typical they are looking to sell them all first to get the money to actually build 24. Do they even have tooling? It's got to be $150k+. ~$3.6m total. Pay now. Ride later. Unless we go out of business before you get yours. It's a one-off custom at this point. Selling a dream...
