I Have Always Loved Motorcycles,

especially V twins,


 so when I heard about the new Lotus C-01 I just had to make a post about it, Germany’s LotusMotorcycles has teamed up with the German conceptual-vehicle designer Daniel Simon to create the C-01 motorcycle, while Simon’s best-known work includes the light cycles seen in the 2010 film Tron: Legacy and the bubble copter in the 2013 film Oblivion, he is regarded in the automotive world for his work at Bugatti,

but now on to the bike, the C-01 motorcycle features a 200 hp, four-stroke, 2-cylinder V-twin engine (a modified version of KTM’s 1,195 cc engine), which is draped underneath a carbon-fiber shell and sits neatly in a frame of an aerospace steel, titanium and carbon fiber, Lotus Motorcycles (whose name was licensed from the British carmaker), has confirmed that it plans to put the C-01 motorcycle into production starting next month, the company says that production versions of the bike (about $139,000) should emerge from the factory in August, would I like one? you bet!
