Had a long hard look at it today while my son's CBR 125R was having the final bits put on it after his drop. From 20' it's georgeous. Up close I afraid to say there is a lot of cheap plastic pretending to be chrome. Thanks to the guy who mentioned that. it was real metal I think I would have gone for it....

Best do the Lottery then and get an HD

OP: If you like it buy it, it's not the bike for me but there's no denying it's a smart looking machine. Take a good look one first though, I've also heard that by H***a standards the bike looks a little cheap up close.

But it's your money and your little slice of the world of motorbicycling, vive la difference!

I do need to point out that you're all wrong though; You want a CAF and stand out from the crowd bike? Then you want this:



Confederate Wraith, contraband, cool, deeply illegal everywhere, fantastically daft - I really really want one.

More like a bit of modern art than a normal bike, still CAF. And with the name conjuring up images of rebellion, definitely CAF.
