I take it they are going to CGI out the actual front wheel and then extend the twinned "covers" to give two massive front wheels in the final render?

Having done the NC500 recently, I can see that the pods on the side could be advantageous in dealing with the camper vans who are reluctant to pull over to allow overtaking!

Nice to see a distinct lack of topboxes. I don't see how people can fill three large boxes for a week or so away unless they're camping.
Or is the Red thing the support vehicle

No support vehicle required for luggage (spare radiators were a different story) and only one topbox - on the GS. The rest of us managed easily getting a weeks packing into the panniers with a tail pack for the bike stuff, waterproofs, spare gloves, epoxy putty etc. Using the technique of taking "end of life" clothing and binning it after using it, the panniers were half empty by the time we got home.

Excellent pics!

I see the bike technology hasn't advanced much in 50 years!

Long way home through dartmoor before rejoining the M5 at Exeter after a few days touring bits of Cornwall.

Heavy M5 traffic meant the neck and wrists took a battering was really quite a miserable ride home.

[Scorched yellow]

Glad to see the bike wasn't nicked after all!

[Alex-e88m5]

Barely got off the thing long enough to give anyone the chance.
Considering a swap to something more comfortable and usable now though
