Yea I don't care about that but show me comparable price, reliability, performance, etc to the Japs and I'm in!

I saw that letter this morning. Sounds like some of the people around this forum.

I've questioned his designs in the past, but man I like this bike. I would also like to see price and specs. And hear that fucker at full pin down a front straight.

i like it too. still looks a bit nose heavy but its very manageable. i look forward to seeing it tested.

that said, any gaming of the system this time will put me full throttle in the other direction.

i'll point out for the eb-fanboys that as a token of my fairness to this one i havent once yet giggled about this one having a conventional muffler layout

Let me go on record, IF this bike makes sense I will buy it, seriously, I really like it!

Looks like they've been taking styling cues from MV.

I know the lights are stacked, but they remind me of a Mille R

I do like the looks of the bike, but I'm not looking forward to what will likely be a very heavy price tag.

I wonder if it will finally be able to compete with the Japanese liter bikes now that it's at damn near 1200cc.
