Not bad.

Seat shape looks nice too.
'01 ST4 Yellow
'02 ST4s Yellow

That won't come to the US.  The seat height is over 22" and the bike is not 8' long.   ;D

Besides, I'd rather have this modified Suzuki GS1200SS.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That is pregnant dogin' for sure.  That would definitely get me back into a Japanese showroom.   [thumbsup]

Blech.



Side view just looks too toy like. I like the rest though. I agree nice pilot view.  [thumbsup]

That is a fine looking motor cycle IMO, many of the details have an understated look compared to the
edgy transformer look that usually prevails.
I'm a late comer to the small displacement - turbo scene having driven Saabs since the turn of the century.
Some nice midrange grunt coupled with excellent fuel economy when ridden gently would have some appeal.
Small turbo's are really practical for the street IMO.

Is it me, or does this bike looks aimed at a more mature crowd? It just doesn't scream 'Fast and Furious' to me.
Show me some luggage and a pillion and I'd start saving my pennies.

i'm a little leary of forced induction ever since my STI cracked a piston
at ~40k miles.  it seems like the obvious steps of forged internals
(pistons, rods, crank) are easily skipped to keep the price down.

Remember what the BMW NineT looked like as a concept?

Not getting excited about concepts anymore. If it looks that good in the metal, I'll be more interested.
