They may have over-egged thay pudding, but I did get quite cross with a 120 mile tank range. On a long trip it gets boring filling up every 100 miles or so.

I would imagine the riders were chosen for their size rather than riding ability.
Surprised they didnt employ Bautista, Pedrosa and Carrasco to ride it!

Though it was built for a challenge, the mad thing is they plan to sell them!
