I'd still prefer the F6B. If you see that concept from some other angles , it just doesn't flow right. |

Wow. Is that wood grain on the sides? Flashback to my 1975 Ford station wagon.

I'm not sure the "woody" look will survive the transion from concept to production. I hope not, carbon fiber would look much better. All in all, this looks like a great new K bike... |

Yah, carbon fiber over woodgrain for sure, that stuff went out in the 80's for sure.
Where the heck is the passenger going to sit? On the back of that skinny sloping backwards what they call a seat just in time to fall off the back?
I think it has more flair though than the F6B, but still would pick the F6B.

Nice looking bike, but it couldn't compete with Honda for reliability or price.
I have to agree about the wood grain, get rid of it.

At least we can see the engine.
Not likely a bike I park my Valkyrie to ride, a bit too futuristic for me but, not a bad concept.
I agree with others on the wood looking trim.

Something about that front wheel - ugly. Looks like the big wheel harleys some guys are using. Very UGLY.

MUCH nicer that the new Golwings (Valkyrie and F6B) and the BMW. Italian design wins this one. If I was in the market, and the overall size of the bikes were similar (size matters), it would be hard to draw me away from this one.

The Guzzi just looks like a Victory Crosscpuntry with a transverse engine. While I liked the style of the Victory I'm not giving Guzzi any points for originality.

I'd like to take one for a spin.
I test rode one of the new 6cyl BMW's and loved the power and handling but not the sitting position.
