I guess I must be an enigma - I'll be 59 in a few days, and I love the looks! Tongue

59, that makes you a youg'n on this forum LOL. Nothing wrong with loving the look of this bike. Would be a most boring world if everyone's tastes were the same.

Now, if you didn't like onions that would be most bizarre.

Not at all. I'm 59, I love it. Would buy one if I could. It's the way of the future. But wait...it uses rocker arms instead of shim under bucket! Old tech, new look. I wonder if the valve train needs attention more often than the Genesis setup.

This thing really has the cred to be something special, it's light, powerful, compact, tuneable. To me, the perfect old-man bike.

Hahaha. Unfortunately, not an onion fan - well, except for this kind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpS-cOBK6Q

But, I do only drink hot tea instead of coffee. Big Grin

I'm torn on this beast. The green wheels are an issue, but nothing powder coating can't solve. It has most of the performance of the Aprilia Tuono, a bike I covet, likely with none of the exotic headaches, and at a huge cost advantage. MCN just rated it 2nd to the Tuono Factory in the super naked category. But it is a bit unconventional looking. Have to see it and study it for a while when it lands here.
