Check out this single cylinder street fighter type bike from Yamaha.  I wish they sold it here.  I think it looks great.  I like the unique shock on the side look.  The headlight is funky, but not too weird.    It has a nice upright seating position.  The radiator is well integrated and doesn't look like something from a car.

Looks sort of similar to the gladius, probably great ergos, the shock is interesting but that side of the bike looks busy in the motor section
Every bike I've ever owned.

I like it. [thumbsup]And that seat looks super comfy.
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I do dig the fusion b/w an offroad and a street naked, but I hear it's got bad gas consumption.

twin cans?

My thumper has twin cans, I believe it helps reduce dB levels to meet noise regulations. At least on my KTM.

Bwooooooahhh

The naked bike craze is just going wild, but that is good, SBKs are just too much for most of us. Bikes are for cruising around and smelling the country side:) ohhhh, I can see me getting  flamed! [cheeky]

I like it.  Er6n competitor?  Looks like the same 660cc motor as fitted to my favourite go-anywhere bike (which also has twin exhaust)..

Exactly, I think that is what I like about it.  Also the headlight looks just like the aftermarket Spielger headlight, which id one of the few aftermarket headlights I like.

Nicer looking or just a better bike.  We get the KTM 690 Duke over here.  I don't really like it when I see pictures, but something about it is very appealing when I see it in the real world.  I should try one soon.  I like the listed weight of 327 lbs.

Speaking of KTM's, that new 125 looks awesome so far.  That is another bike we will not be seeing in the U.S.
