Lotus Announces C-01, Their First-Ever Motorcycle

Quote:

The project is coming to life with the joined efforts of Lotus, Kodewa, automotive designer Daniel Simon and Holzer Group. Lotus mentions racing technology integrated in the new machinery and an engine producing around 200 HP. Coupling this with "carbon, titanium and aerospace quality steel, which are also used in Formula 1", we believe we're in for quite a treat.

Beautiful. Reminds me of a Bonneville bike.
Image that bike with the turbine engine like in the Y2K bike.
Defiantly going to be one of the collectors along with the Viper V10 tomahawk and the Y2K
