Ferking Ugly.....or a Thing of Beauty ??

every one to there own thing,but not my cup of tea. shades of Norton 500 gone hitec

Surely it's only missing the neons and you can ride around pretending to be in Tron. 200hp on that should be interesting.

Funnily enough, this guy designed the light cycle in "Tron" (and Tom Cruises bubble ship in "Oblivion")
Wonder how much money he made from Lotus blowing the dust off a couple of old pictures.......

Fugly, but if we get electric bikes they probably look like this as there wont be anything worth seeing

[Da Lipper]

Very strange looking, would like to see it in the flesh.

The chopper like front end rake seems most odd on a 200 horsey bike ( I wonder how it will handle in twisties), and the odd hoover like fairing seems daft aerodynamically when the rider will be caught hanging on for dear life in the wind stream. Overall seems style over substance, though maybe the engine can power something more practical and purposeful.

[vtwin goody]

if that was a girl it would be a ten pinter

Agreed on that be pissed off waking to see it in the morning

[mattycoops43]

I think it's gorgeous, especially in the martini colours!

[CruxGNZ]

Well, I think we can all agree, at least it looks better than The Boxx


There is only one box that I want to ride

I like it, the Lotus one, that is. I'd ride it.

But I want to know if the engine is their own or someone else's with Lotus breathed-on bits.

The fairing looks like the designer's idea of research was to squash a toilet roll tube a bit!
And the front surface (presumably a radiator) looks very BMW Boxer-like.

I think it uses a KTM engine, RC8 maybe?

I also recall somewhere that nothing is developed by Lotus, it's all done somewhere else by someone else and it's just their name on it

It's all farmed out to various German firms and built under the Lotus banner. This gives you the details -

Stick a couple of race cans attached to speakers and I would ride that.


As for the Lotus it's not my cup of tea but I can see why Tony likes it. It looks like a good bike for the drag strip if you can get yourself tucked into an aerodynamic profile.

Love the ones that Jamoi posted they are what a bike should look like.

Far more useable and with a fake sountrack, for safety sake you understand , yep I would have one.
