    The motorcycle is interesting, a suitcase cafe bike; high-tech yet minimalist. The bicycle is dreadfully ugly!!!

    Actually they share a lot of the same design ideas. Look at the fork and the general shape. The bike was originally design for the british olympic team and the design was very fast. It still stands up pretty well in the wind tunnel against some of the current "super bikes". But the UCI banned them a while back when they tightened up the regulations on bike design. In triathlon they are still legal...we embrace technology

    Are you x-eyed?

    The M/Cycle would look 'more awesome'r...'
    .. as a retro modern cafe racer without the "suitcase" engine covering.

    Its like a well proportioned girl wearing a...


    ...its hiding the good bits!

    Tri-BOOM or BOOM Cubed ...
