They don't look comfortable or practical, but they sure look purty.
Except the Victory. Ugh. What is that - a corporate death-rattle?

Judge Dredd rode one of those Victory Vision motorcycles nearly eleven years ago.

I like the Ducati. That Victory bike is awful. What were they smoking over at Polaris?

Say MF ~ what's the name of that strange motorcycle that has an in-line 4 with two crankshafts, with two cylinders turning in opposite directions for prefect harmonics.
The last four letters of its name are CRYZ or something like that ~ It isn't in production yet and they've upgraded the design?? :):)

This probably isn't it.
Kawasaki has a 650cc Parallel Twin concept, the ER-6N shown above, rumoured to be filled with mechanical weirdness.
Then of course, there's the Suzuki Boost King Concept, featuring a turbocharged version of the 1300cc Hayabusa motor, in case you're in a hurry.

The Suzuki Stratosphere Concept, with an 1100cc, inline six-cylinder engine and a claimed 180hp.
Can you say Katana? I knew you could . . .
Concerned about losing ground in the Ugly Motorcycle competition, BMW countered with the F800S . . .
I think I'll go add some chromey thingy to my Dresser . . .
