That tail piece even looks like it needs some attention. I like the lack of mirrors - whatever is behind you doesn't matter. Though, with that tank who needs mirrors?

Brakes? They might be better off throwing an anchor out of a backpack rather than using those brakes.

They had that for about 25 years. Then they shut it down.

Edit: They also tried it with the Xr1200. How many of those do you see around? I've seen exactly zero on the road, and we have a pretty large Harley following in NS.

Who wouldn't want an $18,000 sport bike, that weighs 700 pounds?
