Here is a link to a picture that is supposedly of the new UCE Bullet.

Looks kind of tall and short, but I guess it's some sort of mock-up. I was hoping it would be in one of those long low frames like the old G/J models. That's a nice color palette, though. And the tank markings are very early 50s / late 40s.

Looking forward to seeing the real thing. Wonder how that picture was leaked.

Thanks for posting.

That's an artists' rendition, but if the real bike looks that cool, I'm in.

hmmm, interesting. i'm intrigued. i do hope the actual bike has a lower profile though, as well as a cream, black and nickel finish as an option. as classy as the blue is, it's not quite my style. just a week and a weekend remain ;D

Wish I could see it, but all I get is that site's page asking if I want to upload a picture.  Doesn't do me a bit of good.  Dang! :'(

The picture is one of the original "concept" drawings produced by what be a less than honorable design house in the UK. The drawing is "warmer" but is not the bike that will be unveiled. If you like the drawing,

didn't finish that el capitan.

though if it's not the real deal, i can go for that too. i would like the spedo alot if it's just one read. don't really have much taste for the dual readouts. the single is clean and classy.

 Engine detail looks similar to the old BSA  engines of the 60's.  Not too bad.  What's the expected cost I wonder.

I'm quite excited to see what it really will be.

I can hardly wait till Oct 7, and I'm not even in the buying market right now!
I just want to see it!

indeed, this anticipation is killing me. it's like waiting for new gaming news, slow and agonizing, hoping the best, expecting the worst, and having an opinion prepared no matter which way. ;D

btw, i can't wait to use this :o smiley

I like the "concept" artwork or whatever it is. A little tall yes but overall I like it.

Many Thanks, JD!  And hey, I like the looks of that bike!  As my friend Matt of L & L sez, It's got everything a motorcycle needs and nothing more!  Love it!  Can't wait till I can see one 'in the flesh' here in the 'Colonies' (Ooh Ess of Ayyyy)! :D
