NCR Millona 16

[DesmoTull]

at WDW2010, NCR will show off a Desmosedici based motorcycle they worked thier magic on.

I can't wait to see what they have up thier sleeves....

Since there isn't any GP weight restrictions, it's going to be lighter then the race bike, at a slim 319 lbs, and still having 200+ HP.

I also can't wait to see this. NCR always puts out gorgeous machines. I'm sure this will be no exception.

Love it.

Where's the radiator?

[DesmoTull]

appears to be tucked under the fairing. Funny, though it'd have to be bigger.

[mrezra]

Does it have a longer wheelbase, or is it the nakedness tricking me?

[Paul_E_D]

No, I thik you're right. Most GP bikes have gone to a "long wheelbase" configuration for high speed stability and traction/anti wheelie properties.

Beautiful bike...except somebody forgot to put the lower fairings back on!

[scottieducati]

And hide those sand-cast magnesium cases? For shaaaame.

As fantastic as that D16 motor is, this setup doesn't make it look like the most attractive lump between two wheels. I mean, if you're going to black out 90% of the bike, spend some time detailing the motor to match. Looks like the boys at NCR finished the frame and fairings and said "eh, lets call it a day." The gold forks I get...who wouldn't. Just think the appearance of the motor could've used some more thought.

I get why they did it. I just think it looks a tad unfinished.

I am guessing that at 319 lbs. and 200+hp they were more worried about performance than appearance. I have ridden a "standard" Millona and it is an astounding bike. The minimalist aesthetic has a very clear intent, and I doubt there is a wasted ounce on the bike. The bodywork isn't blacked out it is unpainted and is some of the nicest composite bodywork I have seen. Definitely nicer than the hand made stuff on my r7.
