It would look much prettier.

There's one of those I see around a bit in black with proper knobbies as well as the things you mention. Looks & sounds great.

I'm going for breakfast tomorrow (Friday)at a little cafe I know in Chipping Norton, cos I just found out there is an Indian dealership just up the road , I'm gonna pop in and have a look around and be cheeky and ask if I can take one out for a test. Watch this space and I'll let you know how I got on. :onya:

As a pure fantasy buy, MV 1000 Rush. Bike wouldnt fit me, rode 800, so small but the sound. The 4 cyl 1000 prob just sound as impressive.As a pure toy, has to be near top of any list. 200 plus power, 13000rpm,  with 190 kg weight, hard to imagine .

Only if we can get leathers made to match the colour scheme of the bike.   :whistling:   Yeah nah!   Not gonna happen, not into matching gear etc, just looks too 'tweee'    :happy1:

I doubt I'll actually ever get one, but the itch is there . . .

Yeah, seen that one.  It's a 2L Flat 8! and real heavy.  It does look good to the eye (IMO) & on paper, but the quality & reliability are suspect I'd suggest.  I'd let someone else be the guinea pig with these.

First Motogp I went to in 05 Mugello Italy. I was amazed at the matching leathers of the fans on the way to the circuit. Had never seen that in NZ  !!!!
