Not practical enough. A mate has one and rode it to France, he reckons he was almost crippled after 3 hours on it, plus the constant fuel stops pee'd him off

At least you won't get pedestrians walking out in front of you for fear of being impaled!

I did consider one of these as they are quiet nice to ride (took the 1000DS out), but they are definately challenged in the looks department, and whilst you don't see it when riding, you do when getting on the bike.

New one is better, but stilll not my cup of tea.

Cheers Mark.
