Looks a heck of a lot of fun. I wish I had a lazy few grand.

I’m with Cormanus. I want one!
Guess I’ll have to be satisfied with my little Hallmark CB750 ornament...

I read Lemmy's article. He weighs 285 lbs!
RE: Monkey-man - LongRanger_imp - 12-17-2018
Rode my first 20 miles yesterday, all on local 35 mph roads. It was 38 degrees and I was chilled, but at least the roads were dry. I need to have the ECU adjusted for altitude as the bike was unable to pull more than 38-40 mph on the straights (I weigh about 220 lbs, plus I'm at 8000' and it's very hilly around here). Fourth gear is only for downhills at this point, plus I consumed 1/3 of the fuel tank (about 1/2 gallon) to go 20 miles, so it's obviously running very rich. Fun little bike, though. The short wheelbase makes it a handful at speed. Mine has ABS on the front but the brakes are so weak, I can't imagine ever needing it. The rear brake is non-existent, almost like my BMWs (all in the name of safety, I suppose). Very slick gearbox, nice exhaust rumble, and reasonably comfortable for my tall frame. I think it'll be fun.
