The headlight.

Biff the headlight.:yes:

[AD345]

Agree about the headlight, but dayum I likes this bike

Roland sands got to have a crack at a custom version.

I like his headlight better - but I'm gonna pass on the suicide shifter....

16" front wheel. Riding will be the proof of course - but it seems daft on paper/pixels.

Rolands one? Its got one of those old square section Coker or Firestone tyres on it too. Hella fun tipping it into a turn. Though thats not the point with that bike of course.

I still like Roland's custom work. and, he can ride a bit

Rolands one?

Dunno - the first pdf says it has 16" wheels. Just looked - so does the spec sheet.

One of the things I like best about the 8-ball is the big hoop up front gives it some cornering clearance.

Tips in just fine too.

If I have a gripe with the bonneville SE is that the 17" wheel makes it very easy to get metal down. Turns beautifully, but with noticeably less clearance than a T100.

Maybe they have jacked it up elsewhere - as we know - riding it will be the only way to tell.

That shifter looks awesome, how a motorcycle should.

What's the legalities wrt riding on car tyres? Is a bike warrantable with them on?

[blackdog]

"The bike you want to be seen on"

Well you can't say they don't know their target market :rolleyes:

Biff the headlight and bars. Too many swooping curves.

Why the fuck don't they make the KORE already?

Yep - but its a cunt to ride.
I mean that literally - try steering a womens vagina, because that's what its like riding a bike with car tyres on.

[MotoKuzzi]

Probably needs the leverage of the bars to take it thru the turns.

300 kg!!!! F-me I thought the point of a Bobber was to strip off the crap/weight.

Looks a bit too sanitised for a bobber. If fact why to they call it a bobber? just because they stuck a 16 in front wheel on it?

[Big Dave]

Euro 6 emission regulations. More than just the Cat exhausts on a 1700.
But 300kg doesn't mean that much either - the COM is much more important these days.
