Would I buy this bike?
Where do I sign Buckaroo? It's the sort of neat and quirky bike for this particular quirky and not so neat Brit. This is not your typical disposable sportbike. |

|
It's a bike that has a character and an attitude that is lacking in some of the latest participants of the naked division.
Hey, it even has a race kit available and the fact that it's 'mericun made brings out the patriotism on one side of my dual national loyalty. |
| God save the king of short, pudgy, fun, naked motorbikes.
