    Looks like it's still got 17 inch wheels to me. Also, the front brake's too strong for off road use.

    Funnily enough, it looks just like an XB12 rooted a BMW GS.

    That would give a more moto guzzi-like configuration surely?

    And I'm not so sure about using the muffler as a bash guard?

    Maybe they only put pads in one side of the caliper jimmy

    Wonder if it comes with trials tyres then?
    One good thing about it is it would stay fairly clean on muddy roads - the vibration should shake most of the crud off...

    EDIT:
    Crikey! (Criminy!!) This is my 4000th post. What a lot of wasted time...
    I have a suspicion though that I may hve been WAY up there once before, then SpankMe went all psycho and wiped a whole bunch of posts off.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I've been following this thread on ADVrider
    Top Secret New Adv Bike Coming....

    It's up to 1214 posts, and 71,379 views so far. An achievement to rival the scottish thread!

    It's been a great drama- wish lists, personal attacks, 'insider' information, sneak peak photos, and anonymous posts attributed to Erik Buell himself.

    The latest complaint is that it apparently has a 190 rear, which means that you can't fit decent dualsprot rubber on it (i.e. Anakees, 607s or Tourances)

    KB is quite boring in comparison..
    We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
