Reactions immediately spiked to both ends of the proverbial football field, with the following contributions to digital society proper taking center stage:

Coverage from CycleWorld shows a patent with images that reflect an updated light system: Three separate LED bulbs represent right and left corning running bulbs, with the center bulb acting as the scooter’s headlight and a separate LED strip higher up on the nose installed for DRLs.
At the back, a tweaked tail and under-seat pipe situ shows off a revised rear aesthetic; the pipe adjustment provides better ground clearance, while Ben Purvis muses that the movement of the pipe may mean perks in the scooter’s power displacement.

“Moving the exhaust under the seat helps improve ground clearance and is likely to be connected to changes to the engine, either in pursuit of more power or reduced emissions,” comments Purvis.

- “This looks suspiciously like a Multistrada made sweet, sweet love to [a] Rukus.”
- “I think it is cool as hell. Not my market, but still cool.”
