    R120G/S



    Nice idea, though it still looks heavy.

    Available to buy as a kit from June it seems, it's amazing how things turn full circle!

    Insanity does not run in my family, rather, it strolls through, taking it's time, getting to know everyone personally!

    Yeah I wouldn't mind that one either, or the 80G/S

    Here's another pic of the 120:


    Looks a bit... Off, to me. A bit like a scale model where the proportions are ever so slightly wrong.

    Have to agree, would love to see one in the flesh though at some point but it's going to be a monster compared to the "original" .

    I have to say, having covered over 30K miles on my 850GS, that the telelever, paralever and general size of the bike belied the handling. It handled as well and when moving felt almost as light as my old Dommie; although picking it up wasn't the same
