Oh those Zany Germans! Stuff like those fighters are why I'll never fully trust 'em. :lol: Very Teutonic, ain't they?

And the Italian bodywork is not really to my taste either, although I can see how it will have greater public appeal. Looks like that Rocket is going to be hard on front tires, don't it?
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Hearing is believing.

The senior tester of MCN has tested the new version that is following the first one: with six bi-xenon front lights.

Let's see soon the video online: really with have got the target to have a real SUV for our highway speed cruising at 130 mph (!!!!).

Don't say nobody care of this because in Italy is plenty of R1 and Suzuki GSX1000 cruising at very outlaw speeds.....

but they do it alone with a lot of air around and down under the windscreen....

I kinda like the tourer, but the street fighter has waaaaaay to much chrome for what it's supposed to be. Gross dude.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

The Italians certainly know how to super-size an already large bike.

It looks bigger than a goldwing.
