Goldsboro, NC | Mr. Song is influencing pop icons. I would be disappointed if this turned into "OCC sucks ... yeah but so do you". I think the project is cool and I think the Vision might have influenced the design a smidge. Check out the swoopy fairing. The Saddlebags might have come off a X-roads or X-country (can't keep those two straight). Note that they are top-opening.

Reno County, KS | They really are getting lazier with their theme bikes. None of the lines match up on it which makes it look like it was a hodge-podge of spare parts thrown together. The exhaust, headlight and handlebars are all proof of that. It's like a Harley Sportster was raped by a Vision and this is the result. LOL I would have never guessed this was for Schneider Electric. I would love to have the money they poured into this bike and that god awful paint scheme. I could buy 5 or more other 2-wheeled toys with it! I think they were trying to emphasize the bike lines with the crescent swoops but it obviously didn't make the bike any better looking. Hell, I would have just left it raw metal. At least rust wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. I guess the fuel tank does sort of mimic the Vision's outer leg fairing. Too bad they decided that parts and paint matching wasn't a priority. They could have done something great with it. |

New Bohemia, VA | if it is electric, cool, but it does take some getting use too. As far as stealing from Victory, or anything like that, there are prior examples of teardrop effect. However, the combo of the cowl and bags do make me wonder if there wasn't some inspiration. If there were legs sticking out on this thing it would theme it pretty good, it looks like a bug. |

SC, Bluffton | If its electric, I know there has to be a kick ass sound system in there, somewhere? I like it. It looks like some serious storage space behind the headlight. Love the colors. I'd raise the back a few inches. Slammed will pass, just like rap music someday, right?

Jesus. Tough room. Sorry I brought it up.
I am glad you did. I love motorcycles, especially when they aren't crotch rockets. Thanks for sharing.
