They do look better in black nige, and that is a good pic, but ... the designer in me just cringes looking at the style lines going in all different directions - it looks like a parts bin bodywork special because of those strange lines the engineer in me looks at the compromises in the rear end of the frame to put a passenger and luggage capable tail on - its a touring frame Mind you, I would probably pay you money to have a ride on yours  I'm sure the view from the cockpit is much better   |

Cr@p!  The SSie looks fantastic, far better to have those sculpted flowing lines than the flat panel boring old style SS that owed more to the "dustbin" fairings on your 50's racers than it did to 90's machinery or styling  The only "old" style bikes that looked good were the 851/888 series, even the Paso looks better than the old SS |

Well I like them far more than Terreblance's other creations. I do agree re. the frame. It should be a lightweight bolt-on subframe. The existing frame is a bad thing for racing in terms crash resistance and weight...in the USA they cut the rear off and put a proper subframe on..here in the UK we aren't allowed to do it. If you're willing to pay then we hould talk - it's an absolute hoot to ride. A bit underpowered against the big 4's but, nonetheless a lot of fun. Corner speed is high. |
