I had never seen this bike until today but its cool as hell. There are 2500 in the US. the front suspension is something out of the ordinary.

Great sport touring bike... shes heavish, but good at speed. i remember when they first came out with center hub steering and the gts. It had gone by the way side in f1(eg ELF) due to the weight factor not because there was something inherently wrong with the concept.

 

IIRC, there is an article regarding this bike (and racing it!) in the most recent Motorcyclist.

 

^ I was just about to say that.

Umm, this isn't a FS thread, he was just asking general stuff about the bike because he read about it in an article.
