Just picked up this very interesting album of Photos on Flickr. I'd heard of the 'Futuro' concept bike but never realised just how radical it was.

Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Nice find... I hadn't seen that one. It's interesting to note that the bike shown in the video doesn't appear to be the same one as that in the pictures (or it has been quite radically changed). The more I look, the more differences I spot... even the upper fairing shape is different. I wonder how many 'prototypes' were actually made.Kurt in S.A. wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:39 am YouTube video:
