What about this KTM?

Not sure about the styling on the RC8.

I think this one is better actually...

I've seen both the white and the orange versions out at Crossgates in recent weeks and both look lovely even though the styling is a bit marmite. I wouldn't object if one happened to land in my garage.

I love the styling.
I wonder what the designer would come up with if asked to design a car?
A Lotus Origami?

Bikes make car design seem very boring. I love the tech look.

Sat on one at the Scottish bike show IIRC - very nice.

So-so about the styling, but if it goes as well as it's meant to I'm sure I could live with it

It will be interesting to see what happens to the used prices over time when compared to more conventional equivalents.
