Just read this and maybe it's not as rubbish as I first thought....

It's got a wet clutch....I'll buy 2.


Seriously...That is the perfect next bike for someone of my age.

Reminds me somewhat of the Suzuki Gladius...

Liking the carbon version of that, but not liking the price!

I dont like it. Think its fugly. Too big and clumsy looking and far to expensive.

Had a wee sit on the carbon one at the Excel yesterday, it felt a little bit like the Rocket III (which I may also have developed a bit of a soft spot for) but mostly it felt like nothing else on earth.

View from the seat of the tank and dials honestly looked like you were on a spaceship or something.

Fair bit of a reaction around it, although the general consensus was 'I know I want one, but I have no idea what I'd do with it!'

I fully agree, absolutely no idea what the thing is for, when or where I'd use it, but I know I need one.

I hope this bikes draws people from Harleys and big Jap cruisers, it is just so much cooler. Not my cup of tea this kind of bike but i like it.

Seem to remember reactions to the first Katana bikes from Suzuki in the very early 80's were a little sceptical.

Standard exhausts sound a bit sheeeite. Not many owners would keep them though.

It's a nice bike, defo a tart bike though, but a nice one..

I like all the electronics and stuff on it, I think it'd be ok two up as well though not sure how much a pillion would appreciate a full on traction control assisted launch!

Tad on the expensive side though, i'd not like to pay that for a car nevermind a bike.

If i had the lifestyle to match i'd buy one.

What's traction control got to do with a launch with pillion, unless it's wet?
Would have thought even a full on cruiser would have trouble losing grip with a pillion on the back.
