I've heard tank range & fuel economy is a problem with those. Never tried one myself to find out.

With Crossplane 4 cylinder motor tuned for much more torque than R1 or M1 (big bang) without traction control active they're a wheelie machine. Adaptive suspension can almost tell what you're thinking 🤔
$25k + on road makes it an expensive naked bike imho. :cheers:

Always liked the M10,  one day maybe, I turn 76 in two days   !!!!!!
Lucky to have had a big group of ex racer mates.  The first has just bailed at 80 yrs  , Funeral tomoro, very said but an excuse for a re union. Picking it'll be a big one ???

Sorry to read about your mate Roo.  As far as the reunion goes it'll be good to catch up with them all again, but sad that it's at a funeral.  We should catch up more often under good circumstances I reckon.
