When I first looked at the photo I thought it was a retro homage to a Heron Suzuki!

Sometimes,not often, even a Katoom can look pretty

Dominator made to look like a Montessa (which are owned by Honda anyway.

(Friendface linked pictures so may vanish)

Can't find a proper link for it with the deets.

It looks a lot like the Mash 650 which has the same engine

I may have mentioned this before, but the dark green Ducati's in the movie are actually 996's.

Ducati cashed in making 998 reps.

I don't want one, but 0% finance and FOUR years warranty. Is this the way the Chinese take over?

Back in the day the Korean's only got a foot in the UK car market because they offered exceptional warranties.

More than a hint of MT07 right there.

Something considerably lighter and better looking?

A sports stroker of some sort?

I'm not even sure how I'd cheat

Better looking is debateable, but 99% of what you see now should be covered in plastic.

It wasn't a common bike, never officially sold in the UK, but you'd know one if you saw one.

Shouldn't it be a Mono? And no P4 calipers? Jeez I'm not exactly impressed
