Ick.  I seriously can't find any redeeming visual quality in that thing.  Wait...the wheels aren't terrible and the bar-ends look decent.

Hmmm... If only it wasn't so fugly. I like the orange and I like beemers, but there's something that doesn't quite flow. The way the sexy monster flows.

I'd have to see it in person, ride it and maybe get a full experience before I totally write it off, but overall my first impressions is bleh.

So, what kind of bike do you ride?

I ride a BMW. ;)

No way! Boy, don't you just love that smooth boxer engine and the maintenance-free drive shaft? I sure wish my bike had that kind of distinction. [bow_down]

Uhh... :-[

Where's the mandatory Teutonic stick that goes up the rider's arse?

i think it looks decent.......air box runners could use an overhaul though.   from the side they look like they stick out past the handlebars.

Its just not sexy is all. It looks like a Nice basic motorcycle that could be fun to ride. But nobody is going to give it a second take. If i found it in my garage one day I wouldn't kick it out. It would be the bike to ride in the rain and not worry about it being all scummy.

Hey, now. Be nice.

I mean if I paid that much for a bike I'd lose my sense of humor too. ;D ;D
