Click on picture for enhancement. Concept type 2
T2 blends together a neo/retro persona; retro with respect to the deep fenders and low-slung tank that are evocative of lowered and chopped roadsters from the 1940s and '50s.
Yet the T2 is cutting-edge with its use of a six-cylinder engine and aluminum twin-spar frame plus Pro Arm rear suspension.
The radiator shroud transcends function to become a full- on styling element with sweeping curves that also hark back to classic roadster grills.
On the T2, the single-sided Pro Arm swing arm stands out in its full glory; note the massive construction!
Taking advantage of the right-side Pro Arm, the left rear quarter has been purposely left unencumbered to highlight the gorgeous rear wheel that is perfectly framed by the strong lines of the sweeping, flared rear fender.
Notice the clean and functional look provided by the knock-off wheel hub.
The beautifully integrated, faired-in muffler was kept short to keep the rear wheel area open, but it makes its own powerful statement along the way.
The bold, massive look to the radical two-shock trailing- link front end lends a strong mechanical presence, further feeding the neo/retro presence.
The unique dual-bulb headlight treatment includes a projector beam in the bottom portion, which gives the headlight a very different face. Note the painted headlight shell with the chromed cap.
With the instruments packaged into the wing-shaped handlebar cover in futuristic style, plus the flush-mounted LED taillight/turn signals, the T2 offers a distinctly neo look from head to toe.
