Oi, it's my quiz, so I get to choose the winner! Ok, Sarah wins ;)

Now, I don't go for 'sports' bikes as a rule, but that floats my boat.:thumbsup:

The price is quoted at $12 grand. At the present exchange rate that's about £6K. Wonder if it's small enough to go in a holdall and bring it in as hand luggage. Might get away without paying any duty then.

Not sure about the looks but it's gotta fly with that power to weight ratio.

£6K? Only in our dreams! This is "Treasure Island" we live on, after all. If there was a sweepstake for pricing, I'd go for £9.5K. Marketing people really have their heads up their a*ses in this country, particularly motor industry types. All in my humble opinion, of course.:rolleyes:
