i assume this is a tourer ?

for a while it reminds me of a certain scooter.

the front part, is it the majesty or something.

hmmmmmmm

Imagine this bike to be a "sandwiched" version of the goldwing w/o the rear trunk...

 

Auto transmission... but the outlook is nice...

[hitman]

swee!!! but 680cc might b too 'little' 4 a sports tourer tt weigh 200+kg.

[Speedpass]

The concept is nice , but the 15L tank is a bit off if they wan to dub it a cruiser .

 

Anyway , proper sized tyres r a welcome .

Still luv the Suzuki G-strider.Too bad its a concept bike.

[GuiNNeSS]

I wonder which part of that bike does not pass LTA's strict guidelines?
