Sexy Beast !

I saw that site last year. They are limited numbers and you will have to line up on the waiting list. Was considering buying one. May review my options again.

Trust the Yanks to put the chain on the wrong side,they can't even be trusted with the basics in life....

A Merkin Norton, whatever next?
Why, I'll even bet that it doesn't vibrate components off or leak oil.

**Posh Tourer :P** · 5th October 2005, 07:09

Limited numbers are only for the signature edn. That is already closed....

US$14,995 for a normal one....

So, you sorta like it, but can't afford it?

I like it , I like it a lot but what is there to stop all the road crap being thrown up from the back wheel and spoiling the shiny engine or is it designed to sit in the living room and look pretty ?

Hey - think about it...
This comes from the land of shiny chromed monsters remember. Posing pouches on wheels.
These aren't designed to run in the rain, and if there are owners who do ride them in the rain, they aren't going to give a rat's about road spooge up their backs. They'll probably relish the excuse to go for a blat in the rain then when they get back to get their hands on the beast, wash and polish it and admire their toy.
And the bike too...
