EICMA 2014 merged threadfest / MGX-21 merged bitchfest / MGX-21 gets-the-green-light

Reminds me of 'Texas car wars' reality show when Rodriuez Rod & Cycle bought a '32 Coupe from the junkyard and painted it flat black and ask 10k for it..

I like the concept of the screen if not the execution.

The front wheel's pretty.

But... WTF's with that exhaust? Needs a dose of Viagra.

Is that the new Victory?  I can't tell with the black duct tape on the tank logo.   

I like it but it's  weird angle.  I don't like the droopy exhaust, upswept bags, clunky chin fairing and still, the vertical break between the front and rear of the bike.  Reminds me of the Largo's yacht in Thunderball, the Disco Volante.



But I do like it.

Looks like MG is expanding the existing 1400 line up.....

I kinda like it......Just wish they would give it a 200 mile range.

Merged into the bitchfest!   

mix mash of parts:  Rear wire wheel from Eldo 1400, prototype 21" front wheel, MGX-21 exhaust,  Cal 14 touring bags, MGX-21 fairing, Audace foot pegs, new chin fairing for oil cooler(s).

When/if they show the new model at EICMA in a few weeks, we can start a thread for whatever they call it.

"California X", or whatever.  I don't think it will be "MGX-21". 

The bike shown has lots of details to iron out.

But, I'd imagine it will be on the podium next to the new 850/950 small block thingies.
