V12X Drive By

Last Saturday my brother took some pics and a little video.


The more I look at the bike, the prettier I think she looks....
Maybe because there is such an ugly old bstrd standing next to her?

Drive By....

I think it is a nice looking bike. Better than the Ducati Multistrada anyhow. Is this one comeing to the States?

Interesting. How's the ride? And the ride report? BTW, you really didn't have to dye your hair to match the bike's color... but it's a good thing the bike wasn't red!!

I'll admit the beak is questionable on the Multi... But the 150HP, Traction Control, Slipper Clutch, four riding modes and Electronic Ohlins' Suspension more than makes up for the beak...

I like the wheels. I'd like to adapt them to a project bike. :-)

I thought the same thing... are these wheels the first time the spokes have been mounted in that fashion? I'd like to know more. Never seen that spoke arrangement before.

BMW has done it before. And dont forget it is a shafty, so wheel conversions are most likely too intensive.

Leon, a drive-by sort brings to mind SPEED.

That was more like a "pedal-by fruiting"

Now go get me a photo of that thing in front of De Spikke !

I may be grey, but your eyes and concentration are already gone amigo..... :laugh:

Too intensive for you maybe... :tongue:

Custom spokes and hub should fix that, if one can't find an existing hub to lace up.

Psssst...Dutchy, wipe up the white powder before you take the picture.

That thing looks pretty damn nice to me, like that shot!

Cut the beak off and she will look fine ~

Test rode one last week....report here.

I think it's detuned to ~127bhp, not 150.

I have to say I've seen much uglier 1200cc Honda V4 motorcycles than that one... :tongue:

Ciao,

Did you buy that, or just playing with it ? Anyway, I like it, looks like a nice sitting position as well.

I know Beemer's done it (slightly different), On this bike the spokes where they enter the wheel/rim are a little diff'(from/bmw) as to allow for tubeless tyres (the edge of the tyre covers the spoke holes(I've seen this wheel in a close up somewhere, and had a better view).

The Super 10 from Yamaha has a similar spoke technique....same result no tubes. If the V4 does not make it here I may have to consider the Super Tenere. Reports indicate the wheels are holding up.

Great looking bike, man. I've not seen that model in the states, but then again I've not seen another VFR1200F either. I'm a bit envious.
