At first glance it appears to be one of the ugliest bikes I had seen. At a second, and after a ride, I couldn't get enough! Smooth and extremely rapid acceleration, smothest gear change I have ever felt, and on top of that a comfortable journey.
The speed of this bike is unbelieveable, pull away through first second and third, and the speedo moves like a second rev counter! The legnth of the bike can be off putting at first, but now it is understood! The bike lifts as it is, so if it were any shorter it would probably flip with ease!
I, and I am probably not alone, but the size of this machine lead me to believe that it would handle like a tank, but in actual fact, the handling was supberb, like that of a 400 to give you some kind of idea.
The only fault regarding this bike, to me, is that the roads in britain aren't long and smooth enought to use this bike to it's full potential.
