completely off topic - who are you on Hornets Nest JohnBob?

Seen it, sat on it at the show. Definitely an aquired taste, especially if your not too keen on orange. If it were mat black you would have to say it is a stealth bike. Maybe its invisible to police radar.

Anyone on the pilion would be at risk from overhead wires.

Didn't like it when i saw it in MCN but do now after seeing that.

The only down side to it is that a number plate and indicators is going to ruin the back end look

The big initial downer is that its a twin and I havent ridden a twin yet that I have liked. But if anyone can make one worth ditching your in line 4 for its KTM.

OMG Jason on a vee twin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all that vee twin grunt you would never see it with the front wheel less than 3ft in the air

The day you remove your head from Suzuki's arse is the day hell freezes over and England has a nice summer. Basically, it aint gonna happen
