I'm afraid that some aspects of that bike seem to me to have failed in design for function.

To me, it looks like it was built in a garage, by someone roughly as qualified to build a bike as I am
 Some of it's very nice, but the lines of the exhaust are just wrong, frankly. It has no flow at all. And of coruse, it's got a comet engine in it- no supercharger as promised either, and the claimed power figures are down on the SV's real world crank figures (torque is up, though). Weight is nothing to write home about either.I do like the stuff about the VR1000- "Best handling GP bike of its era"- well, its era was 10 years ago They've wisely removed most of the flagwaving nonsense about "an all-american superbike", considering it's powerd by a korean copy of a japanese engine, with european suspension, the visual designer was english and trained in france...

it looks much better with the factory fitted options of Ohlins forks, Brembo radial callipers and lightweight wheels

I imagine that'd get some envious looks on a minitwins grid
