CR&S DUU Concept is a mototerminator for the rest of us

Those of you who had the stomach to sit through Terminator Salvation with your eyes open will remember the mototerminators that launched themselves from the legs of the giant collectors. Those were actually based on Ducatis, but if you fancied the look of them, then Italian bike builder CR&S has something pretty close.
Called the DUU Concept, the naked ride is a combination of "a sporty European rolling chassis powered by a muscular American big-twin." The engine is a 1.9-liter (117 cu. in.) X-Wedge supplied by S&S. Wrapped around that powerplant is a chassis that CR&S says can be tailored by the customer – although they don't indicate how beyond presenting the choice of single or two-seater versions.
But since each DUU will be made by hand, one-at-a-time, we imagine they'll be happy to do anything your wallet will allow. The DUU Concept is being unveiled November 10 at the Milan International Bike Show. CR&S said it has plans to build them from next year, at €20,000 ($30,000 U.S.) apiece. Check it out in the gallery of high-res images below.

It never fails...every time there's an article about motorcycles, somebody gets "confused" as to why they would feature one on an automotive blog.
Get over it.

Copying...maybe. Only better. I used to think I loved the Confederate bike...I've found a new love. And at $30g it's what, less than half the price of a Confederate? Oh but if I could only re-mortgage the house...without getting the wife's signature. This'd be worth every payment.

I'm not a two-wheeler kind of guy, but that has to be one of the most badass, sexiest looking piece of bikery ever made... Wow.

I like the aesthetics of this bike. Based on what I can see, it would probably handle like a truck though. Would like a ride to confirm suspicions please.
