It's so ugly it's beautiful. GSA's are about 100 lbs heavier wet and we call them "adventure" bikes. 45 hp isn't going to be much use on the interstates but it doesn't look like it's made for that anyway.
 
Just cuz ya can.....

Doesn't mean ya SHOULD...

"Alessandro Tartarini, the son of Italjet founder Leopoldo Tartarini, has created a new category of motorcycle we didnÔÇÖt know we needed. And based on the stats and those pesky laws of physics, weÔÇÖre unconvinced itÔÇÖs even a viable solution for the handful of potential buyers Tartarini and his company are targeting.

The design intent of the Brutus (no relation to the Brutus electric motorcycle or CaesarÔÇÖs assassin) is to be a jack of all trades, handling serious off-road conditions while simultaneously being a practical long-distance cruiser. The big feature is the tires, which are 6 inches wide at the front, and 7 inches wide at the rear.

But as with any hybrid that attempts to blend the best of both worlds, the BrutusÔÇÖ stats make it sound like a mis-imagined hodgepodge that wonÔÇÖt be good at anything."

But who am I to pre- judge? :brow :nono

Maybe it's AMAZING! :bow

Where we live there are thousands of miles of graded-in roads all over the desert and in both Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Some are called primitive, some called non-maintained, and some were graded once 25 years ago.

They say that thing can be equipped with a sidecar and reverse. That would be perfect for exploring the Big Bend back country.

Exactly. I bet that thing is great in the sand and loose rocks...

The reviewer clearly never rode an adventure bike like a GS, or any of the balloon tired bikes of the past. The tires are a big part of the suspension, too.

I'd really like to try this thing. Too bad they didn't do 2WD on it.
