Possibly the best thing to come out of France since mayonnaise.

mmmmmm, mayo...

An air cooled V-Twin?! I thought French engineers were GODS! Why would the pick a dead platform such as this?!

i wold never buy anything from those ingratefull cheese eating surrender monkeys.

'in victory or death' indeed...

Leave it to the French to produce an aircooled long stroke V-Twin. Don't they know that V-Twins are dead? How does this square with the widespread belief in the natural superiority of all things French? They also briefly produced another V-Twin called the Vogon or Voxan or something.

There's a nice picture of one here. Hope they bring them over to the US.

At least they value their engineers. Here they make them design cupholders for 3 years.

Ya beat me by ten seconds, Che.
