I'm assuming there's something somewhere we're not seeing because it specifies it has indicators etc and seems madness not to have a speedo/clocks somewhere.

I imagine they have just taken 'em off for the pics. I bet that neat little fairing doesn't look so neat with the stock clocks.

I also wouldn't be at all surprised if the stock engine starts complaining if you don't have the stock clocks with it. Modern electronics are funny like that.

Now that is nice!!! Very nice. Looks like its a very small riding space though and not suitable for taller riders like moi. So i wont be buying it, but if I did i'd certainly straighten that brake fluid reservoir! :think:

I like the way the reservoir is 'hidden'. I bet it hits the fairing on full lock right though.

Looks like I'm in a minority here, but yuck.

Horrid far-too-short seat, no rear end style at all, naff 1960s looky-likey (reminded me of Dazzle's Bonnie) nose fairing, silly big-hole exhaust, and although I am usually a fan of black stealthy vehicles, the complete absence of any other colour on this makes it look drab and adds to the undesirability- I'd have a standard one over this every day of the week.

Hideous.

It does have more than a whiff doesn't it? Intentionally of course.

BTW if you 'tuck in' on the Bonnie you headbutt the top of the screen. You also have to be careful not to catch your forearms on the fairing - I have another screen for it which extends much further back and makes it really hard not to catch your arms! I find it better to sit pretty much on the pillion seat lots of the time.

The MV probably doesn't have that issue.

I like it apart from the seat, which is too short
