Fuel Capacity: 3.17 gallons.
MPG: TBD

Hmmm, that's not a touring bike.

Are those Horizon handlebars?

Conrad · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2013, 01:55:13 PM »

Dang, those pegs look to be WAY too far forward.

Might have to get highway pegs and put them BEHIND the std pegs.

The specs don't say what the weight is but with only 670 cc's it better be lite.

It probably gets 60-70 mpg

Looks like a reskinned scooter, that thing they made with the automatic that cost $15,000, the DN-01 I think.

Worse yet some a$$ hat is going to one.

BruceR · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2013, 09:36:32 PM »

Ugly? Maybe....but it's still nicer looking than any bike BMW has in their lineup.

Snibbor · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2013, 09:39:42 PM »

Well, I guess it true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Wow,talk about a potato launcher!!! That can makes the C14 unit look slender and elegant.

As the resident token "Olde Phart" with weak[er] legs, I think it's kinda neat. Not exactly on my short list though, as Sam only has 170k miles on her.

Forward foot pegs are a negative, so is the apparent 'tiller handle' steering. Other than that (and the horizontally aimed potato launcher) I could see one in the stable. Maybe.

It's a joke or what??

It's a DN-01 restyled but with the same destiny alredy written: fail!

(the DN-01 looked even better...

)

Yep. A 670 cc touring bike sounds real exciting to me.
