Not really sure what they are saying in the article as my translation plug is non capesco!

Just a "spy" shot of a continuing concept bike. They're re-visiting the MGX-21 "Club" bike from a while back.

Think "Club" as in "Sons of Anarchy" or perhaps.... "Figli di Anarchia" as it were.

It'll likely happen.

I like the idea, not particularly the execution in this form.  From the profile shot it adds a little bulk to the front which balances the large bags and tail.  Visually, the best thing that could happen to the 1400 is to lose the vertical break from tank/seat/sidecover that divides the motorcycle in two.  Makes me think of Disco Volante, Emilio Largo's yacht in the James Bond "Thunderball" flick.  The boat that separates into two.
