This is a cruiser...I suspect that they used forward controls. Notice the left forward foot control. I think I can see the silver rear brake hydraulic line snaking it's way under the right side of the engine towards the front. There is also some kind of cylinder under the right side of the bike near where the old footpeg was...I wonder what that is for...part of the brake system??
I heard that this was one of OCC's "Specials" made for some guy from the mountains of ??? . . . I don't want to offend any of you folks from West Virginny, but . . .!!!

And then there's Daniel Simon who thinks he can design motorcycles.... apparently Lotus thinks so too,they've sold the rights to use their name to Kodewa and the Holzer Group using the name of Lotus Motorcycles. Prototyped with a 170hp stock KTM 1195 cc RC8 V-twin; pumped to 200 by Lotus....

They're only going to build 100, so I don't see it as a real entry in the motorcycle "industry". We'll see.
If it looks vaguely familiar, it's because Daniel Simon was the conceptual designer of the "Tron" cycles, among other things. He was with Volkswagen for five years, and spent time with Bugatti.
