Dealing with the lower front end looking like a clubbed foot, i'd say it needs some serious lovin' from someone.

I'm not perfect myself so I'd happily own and ride it!

Please send me a stash of whatever it is those dudes at BMW are smoking. That lazy eye is ugly as sin. The rest of the bike is fine, but you could say it is an unoriginal mish mash of bits from Japanese bikes. If someone offered my one of those I would tell them to keep it and give me the money instead...

I think this is one of those bikes that you'd just have to see in the flesh. The amount of detail on the flanks and the tail mean that individually the details kinda overload you, but if you see all of the bike at the same time they probably add up to quite a trick looking bike. While the front does look ... odd ... maybe it works in real life.

Poor thing looks like it's suffered a mild stroke.

Clearly this is a bike for those who claim disinterest in mantlepieces while they're stoking fires.

I think it looks great, got that Endurance racer look about it!

I kind of like the look. Maybe it works in the flesh?
Got to admit..193hp and 206kg WITH A FULL TANK+ fluids..those sorts of maths can give a guy a hard on.

I was secretly hoping it would prove to be the surprise bike in SBK this year, especially with Mr Xaus. But he doesn't seem to have found his groove yet with the bike. The US and Euro prices I've heard are way lower than most would have expected from the 'Bugger More Wallet' than any other brand.
