The CPR looks sweet, and I like the tail exhaust on the ZX6! Very cool. The concourse looks better every time I look at it.

Hey you want a bike? Here's a bike. I saw a guy riding it on TV last night. First look for me but I guess its been out for awhile. Only $555,000 OTD. 500 HP 1500 lbs.
He actually leaned it around a corner.
Yamaha had better done their market research right here in the US, as I think they are missing out on not selling the MT-01 stateside
I have to admit surprise at the number of midified MT-01s. I never thought of the bike that way but it has an American/Harley style powerplant with a practical, good handling chassis. The Europeans clearly love it and we are the losers for not getting it.

The four wheeler thing is very cool.They had one at the dragon this summer making runs and it would rail in the twisties.If my memory serves me,it is around 45k..The suspension was fully adjustable and very well done.The one at the gap had side pods that made it look more like a open wheel car plus the doubled for storage.I think the guy said it was running a BMW 1100 cc engine.I asked him if they would build one with a 14 motor and he laughed and said it was a joint venture with BMW so he kinda doubted it.

They are available in Canada and I did a demo on one this summer. Nice bike, all kinds of torque at very low rpm. Like a cruiser they are red lined at 5500 rpm. Lots of roll on power. I'm not keen about the factory high exhaust, but there is several after market systems out now that look a little better. Downside is that the MT-01 is much heavier than a Buell with less horspower.

I hope they import the Moto Moroni 1200 into North America, nice looking bike that has gotten good reviews in the European press.

I was wondering what that Vtwin was...Those cylinders look huge...A 150 hp naked bike with upright seating and lot's of torque would be sweet.

Yes, they are steet legal in the U.S.
Saw one at the local BMW dealer. The one they had was sporting some F1 looking sidepods. Not only were the cool looking, but made great storage space.
