Vultus Test
According to the MCN website, tomorrow's edition will contain an article on a 'First Ride' of the Vultus. It must be worth a read in Smiths to see what MCN think of it!! Of course, what MCN say is in each edition isn't always what actually is in....

Re: Vultus Test
whoa! I love it!!! Reminds me of the dn-1 but much sexier looking, and looks like with some storage space built in this time!
Someone else noticed the similarities

Re: Vultus Test
I love it but it has been designed for the vertically challenged so anyone over 5ft6 will struggle according to some of the US reviews

I prefered the DN01, I had one of them and if it had a bit more room for my legs I'd still have it.

Sorry but that's cr@p, I know an owner who is around 6' and he's more than comfy and happy with it (he also has a 2013 Burger 650 for 2-up touring).c4aok wrote:I love it but it has been designed for the vertically challenged so anyone over 5ft6 will struggle according to some of the US reviews

Couldn't care less what MCN think of it.
I've seen one on the road and it just doesn't appeal at all.

Re: Vultus Test
Perfectly understandable position, but the story is bound to contain some stupid statements that are almost funny in their lack of relation to reality - most MCN stories are like this. I wasn't suggesting that you'd learn anything useful from the article!gn2 wrote:Couldn't care less what MCN think of it.

Re: Vultus Test
It does look amazing but so does the dn01. Riding position does look low and lack of weather protection. Honda dn01 for under 5k looks better value and has always been on my list although I dont understand why they have not gone for the scooter brakes rather than foot pedal for rear.

Re: Vultus Test
What a cool looking toy though. Motorcycles with low depreciation are great toys but I suspect this one will lose cash. The downside of these more powerful autos is there is a small market relative to a regular bike and you need the unrestricted license so they never seem to sell well. A lot of cash when you consider the 700x variant comes in at almost half the price
