You are obviously referring to Auckland.

Called in to MotoMart (Lower Hutt) this morning to view the TWO that they have in there. Both red, one being the 'gold' version (I heard $65K) with lots of carbon fibre, and the other the standard.

They look a lot better in the flesh and the headlight is, supposedly, meant to look like a Porsche headlight.

maybe I'm wrong! I just kinda figured we wouldn't get any being so small.

That 65,000 version is SOOOOO classy!

As for that headlight, well spotted! it is in fact a genuine porsche headlight.

I had a ride of the std version a couple of weeks ago ( the oro has gone to it's owner in CHCH now). It's a really fun bike to ride and turns you into bit of a hooligan if you weren't one already A lot like the Duc S4 in that it's a very easy bike to ride, you just jump on and go.

Mike is right these bikes look a lot nicer in the flesh than in photos. I'd seen lots of photo's of the Oro version and thought ho-hum looks average. But when you actually see it, wow!!

I took some photo's for the owner of the Oro (http://www.nitor.co.nz/chris/index.html), who was being more patient than I would be if my new bike was on display instead of in my garage. The main differences with the Oro is that has carbon bodywork, magnesium wheels/swingarm/frame plates/triple clamp and only 300 made. I understand NZ got the only one in NZ & Oz. Oh, and they guy who owns it also has 1 of only 2 MV Sennas in NZ.
