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

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.

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.
