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.

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

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 8)

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

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????
