Agreed Chris,  Wow.   It does look like they've more or less copied the styling of the Diavel & stretched it a bit.  But it'll be heavier & longer than a Diavel.  Definitely worth a look.  29k US?  That's a hellva lot of Kiwi $, too much for this kid I'm sad to say.
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

its a Diavel as Col says and way too expensive  :)

It's to big to be given a sporty makeover
More power just means it'll be a right handful on twist rural roads .
A great looking thing but I hate the rear mudguard thing that's all the fashion these days.
I'd love a go on 1 but I'd never buy 1 .
:frustrated:
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Spent 3 weeks on mates old model in Nth Qld. It was nearly 200hp, ecu, exhaust updates. Found it great, easy to ride. Parking and moving around its biggest problem. Need to plan ahead. I wanted one but tyre wear is just horrific. Admit he lived on twisty road but max 3 th k from front tyre.

Its 2500cc. And it beautiful. Also that price is the limited edition bike and NOT the main release. That wont be announced until later. Also, it looks nothing like the Diavel well not any more than the Diavel looked like the original Rocket..

The thing is an absolute collection and colaboration of modern engineering and styling. They have managed to make a bike that looks modern and still keep the clasic appeal. I for one would buy one in a heartbeat... But then i already own an R3 so i might be a little biased.
So if i do stuff all all day and noone sees me do it.. Am i still a lazy git?

It does look nice...
But just imagine how many muscles you'd tear trying to pick it up if you dropped it  :imrgreen:
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

I think its stunning, that is a great pic. Tail tidy as usual is needed. Theres a Diavel in my shed, certainly not a copy. I find it one of the best ive seen for a while.

Yeah no thanks a California 1400 would do me.

They are surprisingly easy to pick up as it is dry sump motor and crank is very low down hence centre of gravity is low.  :doh:
