Awful to look at and terrible specifications.

750cc single, with less power than my Ducati 750SS, but more weight than my R1100S (and not a million miles away from the weight of an unladen Pan).

Absolutely pointless.
Fucked Off!

Couldn't agree more. A poorly derived field bike....albeit a very expensive one I,d wager.

As a friend elsewhere said.

'Perhaps if Lotus had produced a decent off-road bike in the 1960s, Caterham would have had something to copy'...

Thing is, the Caterham 7 isn't a copy whereas this bike is, well, let's say they should stick to making sports cars.

Bloody hell, that's what I call bad boy tyres, there nearly as big as my at's is it a quad bike? Do not knock it, Ktm can build a wicked batmobile can not see why caterham could not enter the mc market.
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)


started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

Agreed.
Be interesting to bring this thread back to the fore when (and if) the bikes are actually released
:D
