It’s a concept bike, the final production models, if the Pilens are ever brought to production, will look different. For example, they do not have directional signals or a mounting for a licenses plate.
The design is from Kiska, Pierer Industries design house.

The 690cc single is the most powerful single cylinder engine in production. The original or inspiration of the 401 and 701 is the 1960 Silver Arrow.

That is like a statement of modern art of engineering. Yet not my bike. I appreciate the old school engineering discipline, which is design it to be cheap, simple, and reliable.

Make it like a tank

Thanks for sharing your thoughts...

Pierer Industries also owns Moto Italia, they also recently acquired a part of the CEGEKA Group out of Belgium. That acquisition was of Brain Force which is an IT service provider. The Pierer group comes off as very fluid and dynamic. They now own an IT solution provider, I suspect that should improve costs of process management since it is all IT driven and certainly the highest cost part of the process.
