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.

Hopefully the link will work...

Looks like the engine was a stressed member ?

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.
