BTW WTF is this? I've never seen it before, the best retro execution I think I have ever seen. Easily.

I really dislike the headlight treatment. A true retro look would have had pizza-plate headlights in their own chrome teardrops. This reminds me of the love child of a Maybach upon a Prowler. Remember those bits of fail? cn

For years now I have been waiting for a diesel hybrid motorcycle. Now there is an efficient concept. Take a teeny tiny Euro diesel and a honkin electric motor on a lightweight bike... 200 mpg is totally possible. Probably more!

Genuine honest no-plug mpg, or that execrable new cheater's bookkeeping they use for the Volt and other plug-ins? What are the VW's fuel-only mpg stats? cn

yeah, it seems bags are the new lambo doors lately, lol.. i have never driven a car on bags, but it seems to me that they wouldn't handle nearly as good as say some coil overs.. jmo of course and based on nothing but gut feelings..
