    What are your thoughts on this beast?

    News from MCN: "MCN has the world exclusive images of the new Lotus superbike in this week’s issue of the paper along with details of the project and how running prototypes are already out testing.

    We have exclusive high resolution images of the new Lotus C-01 superbike as well as exclusive information from those close to the project revealing more details about the 200bhp V-twin.

    The C-01 is the first bike to come from a new set-up using the Lotus name under licence.

    Lotus announced it was moving into the world of motorcycles in June last year and at the time it promised a 200bhp bike would be on sale in late 2013 or early 2014 but no images of the bike have been seen so far.

    MCN managed to get hold of two images from a source close to the project. That source, who didn’t want to be named, was able to hint at a few details of the bike which certainly looks very different to anything else currently on the market. These computer generated images have come directly from the Lotus factory and are not the work of MCN."





    I'd buy one!

    I'm alternating between liking the looks and thinking it is utterly hideous.... I think it's the fairing that looks wrong

    That's not a Superbike.

    Looks like the horrendous love child of a Harley, some random cafe racer and the bike from Tron........

    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Hideous. That is all.
    Anyone fancy a pint?

    I rather like the look of this! I do like the Cafe Racer style crossed with whatever it’s been crossed with - I can’t decide. I bet it will have a hefty price tag with it.

    Guarantee if it goes into production it will be a crowd puller everywhere it goes because it’s so different to the run of the mill stuff that’s out there.
