The dual headlights stay (and I’m nonetheless getting ‘Bender’ from Futurama vibes) however at the moment are shrouded by a sculpted nostril cone that reaches upwards to safe the windscreen of the bike. That is additionally the primary time we’ve seen the bike in any type of color scheme, because it was completed in gloss black when wheeled out earlier than. The brand new two-tone scheme of this bike although appears completely becoming for the bike, making it appears to be like muscular with out being too angular.
