I like the shape,but the shellsuit paintjob looks naff to me.

Aren't Italian bike makers in general known to be a bit optimistic with BHP figures? Regardless it'll be quick anyway.

I think I'm over sportsbikes for the road,so I doubt if I'd buy that any time soon.

My Trek Powerfly was the same price second-hand as the girlfriend's GSX-S125 brand new. so glad I bout the Trek last year, I don't think I'd have been able to justify the cost this year.

My mate is thinking of spunking 18k on the 2020 model, with a mere 175 bhp. Fastest bike he's ever owned is a Bandit 12. Be interesting if he gets the new 215bhp one.
