Looks like I'd be straddling a Gillette Mach Fusion Orange Slicer...ouch

And U-spoke wheels are hard to clean, I can only imagine a square U spoke...aargh

But if the components are tasty and reliable, I would buy it of course.

Well put. Looks uncomfortable and overdone.

I think it's ugly, so that's a no from me. I would have to see one in person though, and ride it to give a final verdict though. But from visual alone, it's a definite no.

It looks interesting and i will admit i didnt check out the website. I have what i do though for a lot of reasons, cost is reasonable, reliability, and easy access to aftermarket parts. I dont forsee that being the case for this bike, at least not for a few years.

I'd like something with a v-twin, 750cc, but I'd buy a Buell with the new Rotax motor.
