    Yup. It's so. It still looks like a Bimota Mantra to me too.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I have a feeling that this will be real popular.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    They aren't trying to sell them to us, they're trying to sell them to Americans.

    In the Land of Questionable Taste, it'll be a hit.

    or not

    Saw one in the flesh at the Melbourne M/C Expo. It is different. Made one realise just how good looking the 1198 really is.

    Would you think differently if it had a Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki etc badge on it.


    I welcome it to the cruiser world and hope it inspires a new category of power cruisers that also corner well.

    How is it really that different to the VMAX or MT01. It's not a Cruiser as such, but somewhere between that a tourer with some go.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
