I want one of those! I think that would be a sweet around-town bike.

There not just good for around town. Had mine for 3 years now and it's still a lot of fun to ride, have even taken it down the drag strip a few times. It's good 2 up (unless your both on the large side) and I've even been to rallies on it with all my kit. The only downside (and it's not really a downside) is that it has no screen, and you can get aftermarket items, but I've never felt the need to.
