Well, they finally got the exhaust in the right place, and finally chose an engine with the proper number of cylinders. Fix the obvious unsprung weight issues, style it so it looks something other then hideous, move those two cylinders to the right places, upgrade to air cooling, and they might be almost as a Buell was in 1995 ; )

Take that goofy looking cluster off the top, and it would look much better.

I like it. It reminds me of a BMW R1150R.

What is the model designation anyway?

PS-

The ugly front brake reminds us all how cool our radial front brake on the XB really is, no?

A 650 parallel twin would be great for first timers. Perhaps it can break into the market for the traditional first timer cycles...the R1 and ZX10
