Rumour has it that MCN will have some sort of 'exclusive' on this bike in wednesdays issue. either static bike Pics / or first ride type of stuff.

Or it could be another photoshop lash up!

remember you heard it here first:)

John,

It looks as though the seat is a tad uncomfortable ...two extra pads required for the test rider ! Good luck with it.

Phil, I noticed that too :o
oh dear. I hope they bring out a gell seat...

John, I've got money on one too, and looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at the Milan show :cool:

It looks pretty good to me, although a couple of things look suspect:
- The rear peg brackets look a little flimsy
- the exhaust looks to exit straight into the front of the right pannier, needing a humongous heat shield :(
- the front screen looks to be adjustable :)
- the rear brake is no longer bolted to the crankcase, so might actually work ! :)
- looks like there are a pair of small cubby holes up front :)

Still can't wait to see it though. :cool:

What day are you going to the show John-I am over on the 11th.

And Phil, I noticed the pads too and hope they are not a necessity for long rides-but having said that I have a gell saddle pad anyway so what am I worried about.

Usually we're a roudy bunch, but not sure if we will be at that time of the morning :|
