Nope, don't think I will. Its a toss up between a huge big gay looking VN1500 and a Beemer .

Guess which one my German missus wants

Bit gay in fairness...

Wossack

is it just me, or is anyone else getting a real James Bond evil villain vibe from that first pic?

As far as I can make out from the pics in the op they are concept bikes. They have the Piaggio badge on the front and they have crash protectors on the front fairing.

Its a pity the end product doesn't look like that.

saw 1 a few weeks back turning off the N11, dont know whether it was the handling or the nervous pillion but they were hanging on for dear life, not my cup o' tea thou

A collegue and long time scooterist has one. Apparently its really easy and fun to stoppy with... 2 brake disks and won't fall over immeditally if you mess up (but it will fall over).

I'm waiting for somebody to wreck one so I can rip out the suspension and running gear to stick onto the wrecked front of of my wrecked Bandit wreck. =] That would make the beginnings of an impressive rat bike no?
