I would think those pipes are going to get just a touch warm.

Yeah.....that thing is a looker for sure. I wish they would post some specs like weight. 20 minutes after I received the keys that “desert sled”would be tearing down a dirt/gravel road with me on it’s back.

Looks so classic. Tank lines are awesome. If you were around in the late 60s early 70s, a lot of Triumph twins were set up just like this for desert riding.

Very pretty, but engine guards, centerstand, and rubber footpegs don't quite jive with desert sled to me. Unless he is thinking of the Sahara desert

That's a "park it in my living room" sort of bike.
I'd just need some help to drag it up the stairs to my living room.

A real scrambler could be ridden up the stairs.

Yeah, and destroy my two-year old stairs. They were expensive.
