    Agree about the headlight, but dayum I likes this bike

    Roland sands got to have a crack at a custom version.

    I like his headlight better - but I'm gonna pass on the suicide shifter....

    16" front wheel. Riding will be the proof of course - but it seems daft on paper/pixels.

    Rolands one? Its got one of those old square section Coker or Firestone tyres on it too. Hella fun tipping it into a turn. Though thats not the point with that bike of course.

    I still like Roland's custom work. and, he can ride a bit

    Dunno - the first pdf says it has 16" wheels. Just looked - so does the spec sheet.

    One of the things I like best about the 8-ball is the big hoop up front gives it some cornering clearance.

    Tips in just fine too.

    If I have a gripe with the bonneville SE is that the 17" wheel makes it very easy to get metal down. Turns beautifully, but with noticeably less clearance than a T100.

    Maybe they have jacked it up elsewhere - as we know - riding it will be the only way to tell.

    Well you can't say they don't know their target market

    Biff the headlight and bars. Too many swooping curves.

    Why the fuck don't they make the KORE already?

    Yep - but its a cunt to ride.
    I mean that literally - try steering a womens vagina, because that's what its like riding a bike with car tyres on.

    Probably needs the leverage of the bars to take it thru the turns.

    300 kg!!!! F-me I thought the point of a Bobber was to strip off the crap/weight.

    Looks a bit too sanitised for a bobber. If fact why to they call it a bobber? just because they stuck a 16 in front wheel on it?

    Euro 6 emission regulations. More than just the Cat exhausts on a 1700.
    But 300kg doesn't mean that much either - the COM is much more important these days.
