Last weekend I saw like exclusively "fake" 1970's bikes on the road.

This one or similar:

I was so excited for it to be launched and was pretty letdown when it did by the design, the lines seem wrong to me.. but I saw a white one at the local triumph dealer last weekend and it looked much better in person.,,,

i know what you mean, i was absolutly not hyped by the pictures. but last weekend i saw one riding and it looked quiet nice..

The Hawk 11 is a failure imho. It looks like two halves bolted together, it’s heavy and underpowered for what it is.

I would pay for Naked Goldwing if the price were right.

I didn’t expect much from Honda but still….It seems like manufactures are really trying to cut corners when it comes to design.. the tail section subframe on the vitpilen obviously had more attention paid to it than most of these bikes:

Should be 450lbs and have 140hp at minimum imho. Regardless of looks.

I can’t imagine it is much lighter than the Africa twin around 500 lbs and 94 hp…

 

[Max Kool]

I expect even closer to 525 lbs...

Oh man, I dream of a carbon subframe for my pilen
