How much do they want for one of those? The pipes look quite ok in the flesh to me i have seen a few of them on the road(not on one of those).

At least they included a decent looking shocky cause youu have to sit on it may as well be comfortable.

They ar eonly making 300 of them, so you can bet they won't be cheap! :shock:

I have a soft spot for MVs too. Why is it so heavy though?

I think I'm in love.

and doesn't even have adjustable rear sets... or does it come with a box with 5 different sets just non adjustable.. lol

The suspension looked nice in the close up.

It may cost a fortune but it's actually relatively low-tech and it's getting a bit long in the tooth now.

Compare it to the latest Jap litre bikes (eg GSXR @ 165kg) and you'll see what I mean. Maybe if they ditched that single-sider they save a few KG at least :idea:

For that kind of money I'd rather have a 999R

As for the top speed, a standard R1 has been clocked at a true 185mph (PB magazine)

Lovely looking bike though....

Just a question from a novice but I have the impression that all bikes "feel" different, handle different and fit (a rider) differently. So does this mean that, for as nice a bike that this bike is, you might get on it and hate it????

Pretty much. but on the other hand if you paid out all that money for it... you'd have to love it

'Mmmm love that rear shock setup'
<kicks tyres and walks around>
'Yep, you wouldn't have to look for parts if you pushed it out onto the driveway to wash it and push it back in'
<gulps down a swig>

<Pulls up a chair next to Cath, Duane and MickC to gaze and dribble into his beer>
