in case you like (modern) classic motorcycles ... - The Gecko_imp - 02-09-2023
check out the new Praga ZS 800, hopefully coming soon (ever ?) to the US - I'd love to see one here in my neighborhood. Here is a photo I found on a Czeck website ... I think she would look gorgeous next to my Hondas (CB1100 and CB550) ....
Very few coverage so far in the English speaking m/c press. Here is one article I found :

Pictures, please, Gecko, once she’s home in the garage.

Crap Gecko - that is gorgeous!

Wow- I love it just the way it is in that picture you posted.
There isn't a single thing I see that says 'that needs to be changed' to my eyes.
Of course- they would need to put blinkers, reflectors, license plate, so who knows how well that would end up.
Reading that article- a Kawasaki engine? Wow- great.
313lb's dry weight? Phenomenal
Just 28 made and cost $100,000.....bummer.

It actually does have blinkers if you look at some of the close-ups...and that would explain the $100k (internet says 86,000 euros to dollars is just under $92,000, so maybe that relieves some of the sticker surprise).
I like the speedo integrated into the headlight...kinda o' cool.
It's an attractive bike...but are there really people that have that kind of money to even consider it? With 90-100k I'd prefer a set of bikes, one for each day of the week to mix things up a bit.

Wow, I really like that! Unobtanium of course, but so is a Brough Superior. But both are gorgeous to look at.

I would like it if it had a front brake. Although for $100K, I can think of MANY other motorcycles I would prefer.

Believe me, there are people like this, prob more than you think. Remember the Honda Rune, as far as I remember Clooney and a few other hot shots from Hollywood ordered 2 or 3 Runes each, as soon as she was for sale. Unobtanium is a relative term ...

That looks like a Kawasaki W800 engine.
