    That road is begging for a V-Twin.

    Doesn't appeal to me much. It looks like it's made of prefabricated pieces and plonked on the hillside. I prefer the straights to blend in to the curves, and the road to blend in to the hillside. Like NZ roads

    Holy cow, that's Genesis Coupé. No ordinary Hyundai you see on the road!
