    I think Lotus think of themselves as a design think tank these days rather than a car builder. Mind you, they haven't always been too great at that...

    I saw this too! Looks very exciting! Maybe they can make a well balanced chassis for a bike cos they are damn good at it with cars :)

    Just don't get too carried away with this new concept, remember what happened with the S 1000r they made 100 changes to the bike after the first 2 years, I'm glad I didn't rush out to buy the first ones.

    I've never rode one so cannot comment on their performance but my Blade would take a lot of beating as an overall bike.

    Colin Chapman's philosophy was that the perfect racing car should fall apart on its victory lap. Or, in a road car, on the way to the shops.
