Interesting concept
- Thread starter gs110xsxz
- Start date
That looks like a bit of a mix between the Bimota Tesi and a Yamaha GTS1000 with an elbow thrown in to make it a little different. Alternative front ends have been messed with for decades and I'm a fan of the Bimota Tesi but none of them really take off. I wonder if it's the cost, weight or complexity?
I would be different if the next concept involves a Japanese engine, as all these new projects like to use Ducati power plants. In saying that the frame and suspension setup is what i would like to see for our future sports bikes. There are some very smart people out there when it comes motorcycles.

Brings back memories of Ron Haslam and the ELF GP Bikes.
Always a mid-pack machine. Don't know whether that was a reflection on Ron. The major manufacturers have never really seen alternative front ends as providing an advantage over modern telescopic forks in the rarefied air of Rossi, Lorenzo and Marquez. I bet they have explored it as an option. So it probably isn't good for a second per corner.
