I think I found my new Italian mistress - Paton S1 Strada

Man, this thing looks beautiful. Shame about the price.

From the review:

The Paton S1 Strada was unveiled at EICMA in November last year. It was to be the first ever road legal bike from Paton, an Italian manufacturer of motorcycles that has a rich heritage in Road Racing and Grand Prix racing. The Paton S1 Strada promised to be a classically styled bike but with thoroughly modern engineering. Yes, it looks beautiful. But does it actually have the go to match those looks, both in a straight line and in the curves?

Thankfully, the answer is yes.

That this isn't a show pony for cashed up try-hards with more ego than ability was demonstrated at this year’s Isle of Man TT, where it placed a highly commendable 6th out of a field of 38 competitors in the Lightweight category (it was book ended by Kawasaki ER6’s, which have the same base engine).

So, starts at 16,000 Euros. Any takers?

By the way, it is a ER-6.
