Yerrs - I've been following the development with 'my contacts'.

I have changed my tune about the Rotax engine. I would like to see it in a dual-sport model. Wasn't sold at first, thought it unnecessary - but I've ridden the Morini Granpasso in the meantime.

Mmm yes, that would be a good engine for a fun dual-sport bike!

Especially something along the lines of the Granpasso - only had a very quick squirt on one of those and came away quite impressed, it was only on the road though where it was a heap of fun - not sure how well it goes off the beaten track.

Shame too that Moto Morini dealers seem to be dropping like flies around the country.....

All I know is... I test rode one (single 'r', not double), and ended up buying a kwaka! :banana:

Buell will produce a limited number of 1125RR motorcycles for sale only to licensed professional road racers who will compete in the AMA Pro Racing American Superbike class. U.S. MSRP is $39,995. Orders must be placed through the Buell Race Department and delivered through an authorized Buell motorcycle dealer.

Sorry that GSR750 is butt ugly.... I have seen scooters with better looks than these nakked look-a-like bikes (Hornets, Kawa Z's and now GSR).

A nakked bike should look like a mussel bike, like the orignal V-Max :rockon: etc, not a sport bike with bits missing...

I think that gsr-750 looks badass, you can definitely see the lineage from the gsr600.


Mmmmm naked bikes, thought I do agree, why detune the motor?
