From an engineering point of view... very nice.

Wouldnt take much to "tart" it up though.

I think its nice to look at, dosent look fun to ride though. And I definatly wouldnt pay over £50k for one!

for that much you could build your own perfect bike.

So it looks rubbish (IMO), doesn't handle brilliantly or have amazing (relatively) performance...what exactly does it have going for it, other than...the price? (as in, expensive toy, not as in value for money)
