Well I like the way it looks from the pictures, but will reserve judgement until I see it in the metal. I won't be buying one mind since I don't see anyway of putting panniers on it................
As for other things stated, Mav has it right on the button, I remember reading something written by a 'ring instructor some years ago where he stated that for 70% of the 'ring you can't use more than 45bhp. He used to kick most people's butt using a 500cc Gilera Saturno which has 45bhp-at the crank-so about 37ish at the wheel. Now I have a Saturno and it is flat out at about 110 so it's not a fast bike-Power is Nothing without Control!
