Jason,

Would you kindly point out where we might see and read about this machine? It is definitely of interest to me, at least.

RE: "it was an article in a sydney news paper"

The info about the Nexus-850 concept (and the Gilera Ferro 850 concept) is old news. At this point they are only concepts and there are no production dates. Yes, at some point Piaggio's 850 engine will eventually find it's way into a scooter of some sort and a motorcycle of some sort.

UPDATE: The Gilera 800 scooter and Aprilia 850 Mana automatic motorcycle were unvield at the Milan show.
