Title: Similar Looking ICE Bikes
Post by: Mithion on May 11, 2012, 10:03:28 PM
I have stated in other posts that I am a Harley guy but I still appreciate good motorcycle aesthetics! I think the Empulse is pretty damn nice for the type of bike it is.

What other ICE Bikes do you think the Empulse resembles!

I see KTM Duke in the side profile which is very cool.

Your thoughts???

I can see some resemblances between the two.

Ahh yes, one of my old favorites; I owned a '97 for three glorious years.  Sadly, like many torrid romances, it ended badly.  :(

Here is an Italian bike that I loved too. My affair also ended badly.   :(

Unfortunately, its connecting rod became disconnected.  But it was fun while it lasted.   ;D

Looking at the CBR, the FZ8, and the Streetfighter, you see that originality is not really that important in this business... Basically, if you can't spare the cash, you can get the FZ8 for less than half the price of the Ducati and still have a very good-looking bike.
