If Conan had a GS

apart from the hubcaps, which i now take to be air filters, it's not as bad as i first thought.

i do rather like the skeletal beak

Those pics confirm it.
I like it.

Good job too, the detail is very high standard.

Is....

the writing on the hubcap meant to say "1200GS Off Road" or is "1200GS Off Ride" correct.....

Off Ride, apparently that's what he's called his 'concept'

now as it only has a pannier on one side isnt this gonna be very unbalanced if its loaded?

or is that just me??

No, Italy's built on the side of a hill.

Looks like he dropped it on the RHS and has done a gash job of fixing it back up

Nothing that a big tin of matt black paint couldn't fix though

There are some touches on it I like, the kicked up exhaust, and the front beak assembly, the high level and braced front mudguard. The hub style air boxes are not to my tastes but I understand the reasoning of raising the air intake point. Alloy fuel tank is nice but cant see the point.
Close but no cigar.

I found myself liking it, but if I had that kind of money I'd redesign the 'hubcap' and somehow make it work in a different way. The exhaust looks odd but I guess its perfect for crossing some of those Italian rivers in the mountains in Calabria. And I'd have it in a metallic midnight blue

Dumped the telelever for 50mm Marzocchis with 264mm of travel, 10.4"

The reason for the "hubcaps" is so that the fuel load can be carried lower. Good thinking for a machine designed for serious rough road travel but the size of he airfilters seems a bit OTT.
