>This midrange was seen as a large segment in the market.
There you go: 1600 cc is now officially midrange. The world's largest manufacturer of midrange cruisers has to go to the drawing board. Its about the time. I have been raving about this for years. - cruiz-euro |

Gee, looks like a Harley from the seat/tank up. How'd that happen? Not enough Pounds Sterling in the old crock pot?

Well, still without seeing one in the paint, I'll say again that it looks like a Harley FXR with a Bonnie engine.
Except for that huge hunk of chrome on the right side. Please, please, please - no visible weld seam on the bottom of the tank! That's so cheesy!

Great! I guess they caught enough grief from the Bonnie folks about the tanks!
Good to see you got back from "Barth-alona" safely. I'm waiting with baited breath (just had some sardines) for the article... Maybe that enormous scratch-magnet on the starboard side is his 'homage' to the Rune. Yick!

Yeah Ken, old designs like the seminal "derbi cover" somehow made its way (evidently) into another species entirely!
It is this way because: #1: The designer has really bad taste #2: There's a reason for that "derbi cover to open, maybe too adjust the clutch, or to hide dope/money, folded spare underware. Loose change. A cupholder. Ipod recharger & usb port for play station. The possibilties are endless.
