Could have been worse, could have been better.

Yes on both accounts but being a Benz fan I expected more especially AMG series.   A few more body mods would have been nice

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

It has the horizontally ribbed seat upholstery and "AMG" emblazened on the exhaust. What more performance do you want?    Grin

Yeah, it's a bit "different" but much better in person and unbelievable on the road. I also love the riding position, power, tech features, abs, traction control, etc, etc. Funny enough it gets more interest and thumbs up then any of my monsters did.

Now you are talking.  That would be an AMG edition and exclusivity to match
