I'd hit it....
if that is how it looked and it went better than the current SD, i would sell my left testicle and kidney for that
I find myself confused & aroused at the same time.....
mmmmmm...not too sure, like the front but that's about it..
Hmmm...would love to see what that girder front suspension feels like. The rest all depends on the functionality of the bike; if the form produceds superior functionality without being a mainenance PIA, I'd hit it. If it's just Pierre Terblanche Wanking off for KTM, pass.
NO THANK YOU!! I think single sided swing arms look shite, and that junk has 2 of them?? EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!
I certainly wouldn't want to be the first to throw that bike into a corner in anger. No weight of front end...looks sketchy. Asthetics look pretty cool though, kinda reminds me of Honda's attempt (concept bike) at a futuristic street fighter I saw a Phillip Island during MotoGP weekend in 03 or 04. I would have bought that Honda in a heartbeat if they'd put it into production. Had a variation of the Superhawk motor in it so would have been doable.

I hope it's lighter than it looks...
Kinda looks like a Bimota Tesi, center hub steering does have some benefits, ie: no dive under heavy braking, have heard it actualy "rises", downfall is if you loose it and do damage to that swingarm on the front it's very pricey to replace ,,,,,,,,,,and if those are "17 inch wheels , this thing would be "low" and rather small in size,,,,,
Very American..........leaves me cold!!
Actually, I totally forgot where I stole these pictures from..anyone have an idea?
Whoever mocked-up that CGI model definitely had a Superduke in front of them. Just look at the haunches of the tank, and the overall mask shape - never mind the colours.

As for the bike... It's one of those machines that looks cool without a rider on top, but put a person on it and it'll look weird. Modern designs seem to be favouring weirdly low headlight cowls, and it makes grown-up bikes look like scooters from the front.

Would look good on the set of a Sci-Fi movie though...
seems like they forgot to add brakes
and the front is ugly, too much tyre.
motor is very wide.. looks heavy.

but cool concept
