Designed by the same man that designed the new era of F1 cars, the book Cosmic motors, the new version of Tron, Oblivion, and so many more cool things, Daniel Simon.

Probably going against the flow here, but it looks to me like it's been modeled on a half peeled shrimp :-\

i suspect that is because it has nothing to do with lotus at all , german firm kodewa has bought the right to use the lotus name for motorcycles

odd thing is kodewa also own moto2 and 3 frame makers kalex , i have a couple of mates that work for them and they recon its nothing to do with them .
if this was a serious attempt at making a top sports bike you would think they would involve one of the best chassis designers in the word , especially if they already worked for you .
