it looks better in red, but it still has a big roman schnozz. Do they not have a completed model yet to show off? That video is all CGI.

Yeah, those pics I posted are all the real bike - I don't think that video is CGI. They unveiled it at the Milan bike show today.

While I can understand the bug look might not be for everyone, personally I love it. However, saying it looked better before???? Seriously????

Old:



EDIT: The old Multistrada was around $11k. Hopefully the new one won't be double or anything stupid like that.

oh no way, this new one is miles better looking than the old. It just has a very obvious large pointy proboscis.
And if that video isn't CGI (except for a few clips like the glove clicking the button), then it has been post-produced to such extreme degrees that it might as well be. Even the guy in the background looks motion captured.

It looks like the bike was shot in a studio on a green/blue screen. SO, not CGI.

Oh absolutely. I have no doubt that there's some serious shenanigans going on in that video since it's meant to be a showcase introductory video and not any kind of serious walk-around.

People seem to forget whilst they're bitching about the whole common engine thing is that for a while now the 250GP class has basically been the Aprilia cup.

Funny enough it was in a town called "Colonia" in Uruguay. Close enough to Brazil, really.

I got a chance to ride a snow-hawk a few years ago (made by the same folks), it was top heavy and slow and just sank in the snow. quite unimpressed. However this looks a lot better, since you can just mount it on a nice light and fast bike.

It looks a lot better than a snow hawk, for sure. Have they gone out of business? It seemed like a cool concept, but I heard it was junk and too heavy.

pretty much limited to 4-strokes though, unless you want to premix on a longer trail ride. How's the reliability? it seems like a lot of linkage and joints to possibly break on you.

There's something about post-carb turbos that makes me cringe, although it probably works fine.

Hey look! It's an air charge with fine misty atomized fuel at a ratio perfect for combustion. With a dab of compression-ignition sensitive lubrication oil to boot! Let us compress the hell out of if with a searing hot turbine wheel.
