That can't be an FJR, it's the wrong color.

Intersting, though!!

Why are they copying Honda?

Did all the designers attend the same "Designing School of Ridiculous and Conspicuous Ugliness"?

"Ahhh, grasshopper-son, we'll add these florescent lights....."

First, it's a cruiser. Note the brake pedal location and floor boards.

Second, the headlights, side markers, seat color, windscreen and wheels will never make it to the production phase, so just mentally change all those to stock off the shelf Star accessories. Hmmm, probably just mount some FJR bags on a Star, give it an ugly ass exhaust and you're pretty close to the actual bike that will show up.

That is the most dysfunctional bike I've ever seen.

Ugly it may be, but the tech is pretty neat. That planetary gearset to use the electric motor vs the gasoline engine, or both, is a pretty cool way to shift the load between them.

Still, just another way to build an "automatic" motorcycle, as if someone who was repulsed by a scooter would look at this and say, "Well, all righty then! This is what I was waiting for!"
