They actually don't say too much about the bike, perhaps part 2 will be more informative. At least it looks real good in the pics.

Well, it beats the shit out of the zzr 250 with stripes in my garage at the moment, but it's still a bug eyed freak!!
Mmmmm Fast, bug eyed freaks, I must have one.... They should make a helmet to match the nose cone look.... That would be wierd...

Damn. Only 300 km/hr. I thought it was supposed to do 340?

I guess there's room for tweaks then.

The on-board drag-strip MPEG is neat, esp the 10K-rpm burn-out.

I would imagine that it is limited to 300kph.

II'm not a far of the red, but the black, well let's just say it's growing on me.:cool:
