It's got a huge ass, but at least its different.  :-\
'05 S4R (>47k mi); '04 Bandit 1200 (>92k mi; sold); '02 Bandit 1200 (>11k mi); '97 Bandit 1200 (2k mi); '13 FJR1300 (1k mi); IBA #28454 "45"

Howley

That's make the beast with two backsing hideous  :-X :-X :-X [puke]

Artful

The ass is hideous but that's what hacksaws are for. 950cc at 318lbs wet is the part that matters. You can make it prettier later.

I know that a plane crash killed the top officers of this company last month.  A sad day for the motorcycle industry.

and this is why large corporations have "business continuity plans" that prohibit top officers from traveling with each other.

I think the USA should leave designing of motor vehicles to the Europeans, surely it couldn't cost that much to to hire a design company

Not that bad of a design for a first crack at it.  Give them time.  The numbers look good.  And it's nice having a real bike made in America.

This was a Swedish company that had recently relocated to the US.
