Does it have HOOOOOOGE headlight?

[eugen1]

No huge hedlight, just a very ugly one, looks like an elefant head.

It's the kind of bike that the more you ride it the more you love it and the more you don't ride it the more you hate it and you wanna sell it, untill you ride it again.

It's fast but not very torqy, very light, you can lift the front or back with one hand, not very stable at high speed but boy does it turn quick, it just loves to corner. on standard gearing it cruises at 70 with 1k revs less then the twin but still ok off road.

The best bit about it is that it's a tough old school dakar bike, you can drop it all day without a problem, it has the thikest bash plate i've ever seen as standard. the tank holds about 22liters but still manages to look like a 15 liter tank.

Talking about it now makes me miss it, but my idiot boss lost it's keys.

Fun factor?
Huge grin every time, this bike would make a huligan out of anybody. Whether you like it or not, the front wheel goes up in the air every time you twist the throtle in first, can't wait to see what's gonna be like with lowered gearing.

Worst thing about it?

Kickstart only

Quite easy usualy thanks to decompresor and twin spark(but unlike bmw, they didn't write it on the side of the engine) but when hot it's a diferent story

Have to get it back on the road now, me miss it!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmmm i like that it would make a nice side order to the GS

[eugen1]

Not so pretty from the front tho

Also, it has the strongest rack i've seen, chunky alloy not that honda plastic crap that snaps when you look at it.

You need an A/T as a side-order to your Panzermobil.......
