I've been looking at these... Well, the XB120S, not the 'R'

Just can't make my mind up whether I could own one

Is it new It looks very clean indeed

Plenty of torque there! Love the rim mounted brakes too. Sawn off looks.

The reliabilty issues is a downer on these things. Can't see them ever selling in huge numbers.

Proper V-twin though.
