    Certainly interesting and could be a serious all weather commuter regardless of marketing hype - and a 750 as well

    Is it OK to secretly admit that you like it? Wonder what the FA stands for?

    FA=Fuck All to do with being a desirable motorcycle. Same as a Suzuki TNAB GSF1250FA
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I like it as a concept, but not sure how I would like it in reality riding it.....

    Or maybe "Fast As"? (from a GSF1250S rider .. I love my bike ... I found it so desirable I bought one ...)

    I like the header pipes. Reminiscent of the good old Honda CB400 of 30+ years ago

    That's good, but I am allowed an opinion and I've NEVER liked Bandits of any descrition.

    That's the second youtube vid I've seen where the lens seems to randomly and constantly change aperture or focus or fisheye or some such fucking sorcery. If I want the video to look like I'm on drugs I'll fucking do some!

    I like that CB650 and would rate it as a possibilty as I trade down to something more suited to my advancing decrepitude. Provided though that it cost $12,000, not $14,000.

    Post production stabilisation to reduce camera shake.


    The video linked is a different topic to the article though innit?

    Didn't they learn with the DS-01?

    Or is this more a real bike in scoots clothing rather than the other way round.

    Either way it's hideous, and I imagine the only people to buy them will be doing so to replace their aging Skywaves.

    Of course you are - just as I'm allowed to disagree with you ...

    What have you got against bandits (of any description? )

    And I find Buell's interesting - but hardly desirable ...
