looks like the radiators cover up that area? |

And it looks like a good choice of placement for those radiators.Like the RC51.They don't encumber the front between the tire and engine.They look good,and seem well disguised |

while it's for sure a cool looking bike, it's not as "pretty" as the 1098...no? (and it's also about 3 grand less) still, i'm pretty stoked! |

Pretty much looks like a version of a Firebolt. Same wheels, same passenger pegs, same tail light, almost same tail and airbox cover. Good way to save some cash and make it more affordable. Not as pretty as a Duc, but better price! Good job in my opinion. |

LOL... those radiators ARE the pucks! I'm mixed on the radiators, but they can be lived with. I like the fairing and the instruments. And they fixed the HEADLIGHTS!!! Exhaust is ugly and a Heimholtz!(sp?) Except for looks and sound I'd bet you couldn't improve performance of that pipe much. Frame now made in USA! Spec sheet, couple of sound bytes and that one dinky drawing of hp and torque curves makes this thing look like a 12R engine that revs to 10500. If so WOW!!!!! Very flat torque curve. Looks like it'll be just as much fun in the really tight stuff as my XB12R. And damn good in the straights too! Well my son did say he wanted a XB12R. |
