    Honda 450 Dakar

    There's some silly twisted part of me that would like to own one of these. Notwithstanding the liklihood that I'd need a ladder to get on the bloody thing...

    Maybe It's just because I'm not in the know, but this bit of the article had me laughing irl.

    I like the looks of the 450 Dakar, and I should be able to throw my leg over it without the need to use a step ladder...

    A flying W would be a seriously bad idea with that instrument tower there.
