The brake calipers look nice ... wonder what it sounds like without the air box , (will it run properly without the air box?)

Interesting exhaust system, but I bet with pipes that short it doesn't run as well as it should.

As for the seat - it looks as if someone rear-ended it.

Now this is a different matter (although I'd raise the pipes a tad at the back).

That's a very cool-looking bike (although I have similar reservations about the exhausts - they look like overgrown Ducati Monster S4 pipes) and I like the underseat tank. Should go some too with that much power/torque in a light frame. Oh, and I bet it sounds fantastic. But French manufacturers can't sell bikes with more than 100bhp on the home market so I guess the real production version will be toned down a bit engine-wise. Pity

Big question - how much?

A different matter in deed. Agree on the pipes. I was just thinking it could do with stubby sport bike exhaust and then got to the last piccy. Much better.

can't see any mounting points for luggage though :wink:
