Nice but
There's something about air cooled, naked bikes and this one is no exception. They just look right. The modern touches like the rear light in the seat hump show attention to detail you'd expect on a bike of this price, which is around 40% too rich for my pocket. I became a convert back to twins when I bought my Bonnie and was reminded just how relaxing it could be to ride something with less than 100bhp and a spread of power. It's not quite the jewel that the MV F4 is but it comes close, and it doesn't need an acre of plastic to cover the hideous shape of a modern liquid cooled lump.
