Interesting... But I'm not one to want a first year (introduction) model (thank you MoCo). :D :D

Are you really suppose to ride it? I think it would park it in the house some where.  :P

Better wear asbestos underwire for that integrated exhaust under the seat.

Like a lot of the look.  But with the riding position my back would be toast in 2 minutes and 37 seconds (flat).

Pretty cool design. I wonder if the oil drains all over when you unscrew the filter. Surely they figured that out already.

That's the first thing I thought of, too!  They musta tasked the MoCo for that part of the design since they seem to LOVE getting oil on everything.

Interested overall design.  The asbestos underwear comment got me looking at the exhaust....wow.  They could call it the Christmas seating position..."Chet's nuts roasting from the under seat exhaust"..... :huepfenlol2:

Looks interesting and light.  I saw the oil filter as well but missed the exhaust. So who is getting one to play with and write up their thoughts?

I believe the exhaust exits the engine to the front and rear of the cylinders, then downward and under engine.  Looks like it would then exit in front of rear tire.

WOW !!! Not Bad Looking !!!

No mirrors, but a rear view camera, and the exhaust under your seat?  The digital display lays flat, not sure how well that would work in direct sunlight.

Ah.... NO!

Not my cup of tea. Looks like something out of the movies.

I'm interested in the cruiser model. I already said I'm looking for something other than a Harley next time I buy. I really like the technical aspect of this company.  I have been saying for years, why does the exhaust have to ride down the side of the bike. Why not underneath , or like this one through frame? Not saying I'm buying one,however I like the outside the box thinking and it's wroth a look as to why they did what they did in the design and functionality of these bikes.

once you pull the drain plug and open the oil fill/check, wouldn't gravity take over and drain oil from filter to oil pan??

Drain reservoir disconnected from the pressurized side of things that the filter is downstream from.

Crack the throttle, side off the back end of the seat, get pulled in between the tire and the seat, while the turning tire burns up your ass and nuts.

No thank you.
