I'm trying to imagine you draped over that..... it's not working.

 

Still looks a lot better than their latest official contraption:

In fact they are so ashamed of it that you won't find it on their own
web site!

 

Btw, much better pics here:

The wrongness of that bike disturbs me.

 

I can think of much better VCF candidates for such a thought experiment.
"Astrid la Rapide" [1] for one.

[1] Before you ask - No.

We have already discussed the GTV's exceptional ugliness.
Apart from those awful Stark signature rounded exhaust pipe curves and
naff rear 'hugger' it looks like having the makings of a decent hill
climb special. By all accounts it would feature the 1196 motor which can
be provided in 140 BHP tune allegedly.

Like the bastard child of a Dalek and an Aprilia scooter.

D.

 

ewwww, insulting to both the eye and the mind imo.

I think he should stick to designing furniture and other household objects,
I do have a Starck designed MS Optical mouse which is rather nice.

I'm sure he did an aprilia a while ago which looked a lot better.

 

Stop the presses. Phillipe Starcke design in "a bit shit" shocker.

 

Looks like a 1970's MZ with that tank

Too much time to think, too little to do.

Wrong? Wrong?

**** that, I want one.

It's like he looked at Bloodrunners in the early-mid 1980s; it's a
fucking copy of Hoover!

Ah.

So not no much "better" as "marginally less awful" then.

HTF does he make a living? Seriously, they're both fucking horrible. Is
there something that he's good at?

I think it looked better behind the perspex screen that blurred the image
