Motorcycle Monthly also have a test on their website...

It seems that whilst it isn't bad, the lack of practicality lets it down badly.

It looks good on the angle shots but not on the road shots. Dn01 definitely prettier

Sometimes it reminds me of the Yamaha Luxair Hybrid from 5 or 6 years ago

Actually, its a dead ringer for the Suzuki G-Stryder concept that appeared around 10 years ago!

Both of whom featured a 'funny front end' specifically to reduce the effective headstock height - something which give the concepts a far greater homogeneity of line than the Vultus

I'd rather have a Guzzi V7 Stone or a Yamaha XV950R.
