There doesn't seem to be a separate oil cooler as per the concept photo's.

Front mudguard long enough to keep the engine clean ;). That rider is very small or the tank is too high as his knees only just touching it. On my wee I had my knees tucked in behind the plastics.

Looks like a small rider to me.

Nice looking bike on the road though.

Hmmm, are they going to be setting the bike up to be comfortable for an 8 stone midget as usual, I hope not.

It does look like they've taken a hacksaw to the beak.

Looks nice and agressive to me. Agree rider is small too. Worth a look for sure in a few years

I like it! Not being red really helps with the cartoon problem of the concept bike, and it does look like they have modified the beak a bit too. I've been looking towards the tiger 800 as a possible future bike when I come to replace my wee (not sure when that will be!), but this will certainly be on the list too if the price is right!

Looks like the same beak to me, but just at different angles than we've seen before :)

And looks like they listened to me about the pillion pegs being welded to the frame. Yey!

I wonder if the brown parcel tape is standard, or some sort of expedition pack :D

Yes, pillion peg hangers sorted.

If they can get the fuel economy right I'd be seriously interested. The GS1200 gets 50mpg+ so it has a lot to live up to. Talk of 38mpg will put me off.

Looks pretty much like every other "Adventure" bike now... R1200 GS, Caponord, Tiger etc...
I like it better as just plain Fugly. At least it looked less like a cheap copy of a Euro brand.  :old:
