Sorry, but I think that is bloody ugly
and not street legal, so where ya gonna ride it? it'd be nice to go for a spin on it though.
It`ll probably be nice when its finished..... :lol:
A leather seat on a motorcycle? Wow, that's innovative ::)
Aston Martin have always been known for their elegantly beautiful sports touring cars. You won't in my view find any better looking cars on the planet.
There have been a couple of exceptions over the years of course. * cough* cygnet *cough*
I don't know who is going to buy this thing. It's not elegant or beautiful, by any measure. It's just expensive. "An insane power to weight ratio" Sure, compared to most cars but not to many other motorcycles.
When Aston Martin released the Lagonda Taraf in 2015 it was entirely (or almost entirely) sold to Middle Eastern magnates. I've seen VERY few motorcycles (and no expensive ones) driven in the Middle East. I can't see there being any market for these there.
So who will buy them? Well I suspect it'll be the usual 'buy them and keep them in a climate controlled box as an investment' crowd.
The only thing they have going for them is they are exclusive, but if you are going to keep it in a garage all the time, who will know?
I reckon they'll manage to sell them but they won't prove to be a good investment.
It's not as if it's a super-special limited edition Ducati or some other motorcycle manufacturer with a proud history.
They could AT LEAST have called it a Lagonda, given that company did manufacturer motorcycles for 3 or so years around 1900.
The only positive thing I can say for this is that it's better than the Jaguar motorcycle experiment...

Yes, that was a real thing.
Don't let Notty see that he's only just got over the the naked wench tank.
Just a stupid idea. Not sure why they bother.
I agree,it is ugly! ,and the only people who will be mad enough to buy it will have more money than sense . It will then be put in a hermetically sealed glass box so he and his mates can gaze at it, and hopes it goes up in value in a few years time.
Greatest feature....... a set of golf clubs fit in the top box :facepalm:
It's not April Fools is it :stir: :stir: :stir:
The only people that will buy them are people that can't ride them.
