They achieved a pretty amazing 1/4-mile time with a 515-pound motorcycle generating just 102 horsepower.

I remember the bike getting pretty good reviews across the board when it made its debut in... what, 2004? It was never meant to compete directly with most liter-class sportbikes; more like an SV1000S than a GSX-R1000.

I always loved the looks, especially in black. Unless there is something really wrong with this example, it seems to be priced very low.

The article's mention of the superb handling, brakes and riding position would make up for the clutch, speedo, and mirrors. I've never seen one in person, but it looks very nice, especially in black. Go for it.

Not a huge P-Twin fan though... Kind of buzzy.

I've never ridden the MZ, but my Bonneville is smoother than my old SV1000S and any of the Harley/Japanese cruisers I've ridden.

I even liked the engine character of my old Ninja 250's.

The Dragster RR is so sick. Never been a big MV fan, but the stuff they've been pumping out in the last year is pretty slick. Still probably buy a Duc or Ape first though.

WANT. 2015 Tuono V4 1100 Factory APRC. 175hp and an increase of 20 hp at 8000rpm over the 2014. With the full factory suspension, aprc electronics, RSV4 tail and RSV4 themed headlights. Just needs a shorty exhaust to show that polished swingarm. Should be terrifying.
