I like it!  [evil]
Am I sinning?
Unfortunately, Fred Flintstone is the responsible of making bike selections for the USA, so this is EU only ATM.

Lighter/smaller exhaust and beefier front end....I'm in.

So I went solo.  -Me

The exchange rate is very close to 1:1 for cars and motorcycles, at least for many EU manufacturers  ;)

A tail chop of that ugly plate mount, Exhaust similar to Boomtubes or a Spark 2-1, Beefier Ohlins forks and some Clip-ons. I'd be in on that.

Like a carbon copy minus some horsepower.


Put some 50mm Marzocchi's and a turbo/supercharge on it. [thumbsup]
