Lotus Motorcycles

Breaking news folks. Just read the PR that Lotus – the car company famous for the Lotus Espirt model featured in a number of James Bond movies will be releasing a motorcycle! You know the submarine version and my personal favorite the self destruct anti-theft system! Code named the Lotus C-01 (it sounds like a Nokia mobile phone) will be revealed shortly to all those who can afford the expected high price tag.

The Lotus C-01 does NOT appear to be a badge engineered model but ground up new Lotus apparently. They say that it will look good and be made of materials that will make any person vaguely interested in cars or bikes swoon. To be painted in traditional black and gold it looks like a better version of the DN-01 not a retro Ducati. More details to follow in the news few months.
