It would look a lot less busy of they covered it up with some fairings.

I'd like to know more in detail on how the parallelogram suspension works. It look like its a solid piece so what exactly is compressing?

Get rid of that hideous cover over the forks, and I think it'd be pretty nice.

It's the same as BMWs lever-whatever system.

That radiator is just begging to be smashed by a rock. The whole bike in fact... Looks like something from the new GI Joe movie.

Agreed looks like they just about raided the parts bin and went to town with a tub of super glue.

Looks badass to me, but that oil cooler looks like it just wants to get destroyed.

If they sell it, I'd buy one AND ride it.

Why yes, it does bear a resemblance to BMW's TELELEVER front suspension... (Really god anti-dive characteristics...)

It's not all that bad. I like some of it.

The forks are solid.There's a shock up under the triple tree.
