Saw one of these today on Ortega Highway at The Lookout, Arizona plates on it. He had some hard bags on the back. This picture doesn't do it justice, it is visually very beautiful to look at. First time I'd seen one, specs say its a 3 cylinder motor! Click here to view specs.

A buddy has one in orange. Its about 800 lbs, his (lightly modded) puts out 144 HP to the wheel.

It attracts all kinds of attention and goes like a , well , rocket. Doesn't turn so well and is a bit tough on rear tires And its got great sound, although a bit loud for my tastes

I rode one at a Demo day.. Heat coming off that thing makes the right side heat off my Uly feel like central air!! it was flat hot at stop lights.
It has TONS of torque, cornered pretty good for the monster it is..
Bike is very wide!!

Yeah, from a distance across the parking lot I thought at first glance it was one of those v-8 boss hoss bikes, but I thought "it's not quite as big as that," so I had to inspect it closely.

Beautiful in my opinion. Motorcycles get hot, its a fact.
