Lotus just announced their first bike. Beautiful looking. Doesnt look too functional though.

My bad. Didnt see a thread in the moto photos. Carry on over there.
 
Ol' #80 looks like a headshake death trap, me likey.
 
Can't tell if they're going after the moneyed hipster or the "if-only-OCC-made-bikes-with-fairings" crowd.
 
Was that green machine photo taken up at The Wall?
Can't be very fast if it doesn't need brakes.
 
If by beautiful you mean horrendous, then I totally agree! :laughing

Nope nope, wasnt playing an antonym game. I think its amazing looking. Smooth lines. Not sure who's gonna fit. My 30" inseam wont be reaching those controls.
 
Those "Lotus" bikes are awful. Looks like a pregnant guppy. Another bike designed by a non-bike guy for non-bike people.

The Rolland Sands thing could be cool with a few tweaks.
 
nothing Roland Sands can make could ever compare to the engine that he fit in that bike, probably the only V5 to be ridden by mortals on the street.
 
He switched to over to completely electric right?

Yeah, I think so. But he had running engines, if I remember correctly. Where are those engines, just sitting in a warehouse somewhere?

Maybe he'll give one to Roland Sands.
 
Brakes are only needed for bikes above 200hp?

Uh, it was sarcasm but not snarky sarcasm hence the little laughy face. You said it must be slow, but that's KR's V5 proto Motogp engine, which you know, is probably really quite fast.

And as far as the no front brakes thing, I think Roland Sands was probably just being true to the old broad tracker look.

Oh for fucks sake, just get a truck already...stick your head out the window if you want to "feel the freedoms".
