Well, the rear wheel me to the madhouse of the average consumer discretionary, because the only thing I can think of now is 986 M2 Moto2 Vyrus races, and consideration of the street would be like if the lights green Vyrus project.
I do not care if the polar-control design is actually superior to conventional fork. I do not care if a team takes the frame to race Moto2 Vyrus. And, in fact, I do not even care if all this talk of Moto2 race is merely a means to launch a 600cc brother Vyrus 987 C3 4V Supercharged.

Eloquent I know, but if you can manage your bikes to be non-traditional design is, I think you have a similar reaction after the jump when you see Vyrus 986 M2, which was finally unveiled at the Motor Bike Expo in Verona.

Electric Superbike Mission R Concept

Mission Motors has finally taken the wraps off its Mission R electric race bike. Boasting some big numbers, namely a 14.4 kWh battery pack and a 3-phace AC induction motor that makes 141hp and 115 lbs•ft of torque, the Mission R ticks all the right performance boxes with its 160mph top speed, 100 kW motor controller, regenative breaking, and barely race legal 545 lbs weight.

Taking lessons learned from the Mission One, Mission Motors has built the Mission R from the ground-up, and tapped some well known names to help the company make this striking motorcycle. With James Parker (of GSX-RADD fame) designing the chassis, and Tim Prentice of Motonium working on the industrial design, the Mission R is not only a very pleasing motorcycle to look at (drool over that billet single-sided swingarm), but also incorporates some advanced concepts to make it a potent and compact racing weapon. Oh, and did we mention the bike looks freaking fantastic?

Starting with the chassis, James Parker designed the Mission R’s unique Quad-Element frame layout, which has a chrome-moly trellis frame, joined to a billet aluminum front piece that incorporates the head stock and forward sub-frame. Enclosed in a carbon fiber box, the Mission Motors managed to fit 14.4kWh of MissionEVT battery packs into the chassis design, while Parker’s main focus was centering the new Mission Motors AC induction motor at the Mission R’s exact center of gravity.

Contrast the motorcycle seen in this sketch with the 2011 Honda CBR250R. One is simple and functional, the other isn’t. Honda says the V4 crossover, “will have the flexibility and exciting attitude of a naked performance machine, with the more comfortable upright riding position and design cues inspired by adventure bikes.” That’s right, it’s a vehicle that looks off-road capable, but isn’t; where have we seen that before?This is the third and final sketch of the bike that promises to combine CB1000R design cues with a smaller version of Honda’s new V4 engine. This bike will debut in production form at EICMA next week, while a 1,200cc version of the engine will also be used in a new concept bike, likely an ST1300 replacement.

Honda continues by saying, “With the low centre of gravity of a performance bike it is great fun to ride, and because of its wide handlebars and upright riding position it is both easy to maneuver and comfortable.“Honda research had revealed that customers want a machine that has both a unique style and is also fun to ride in all conditions throughout the year. Honda has delivered this customer request.”You know, because plain, simple naked bikes are sooooooo uncomfortable and everyone’s been bemoaning their lack of faux off-road styling cues.

The bike incorporates C-ABS as a bid to improve safety and is specifically designed to be cost effective at the same time.
