Any of you fine chaps had a close look at one of these?
I've got to say that they look really good in the flesh. They look really well engineered.
Must be a great ride?
No...... I'm not thinking of buying one!

Not seen one in the flesh yet, although I noticed when watching the Tour de France coverage on tv there were a couple being used as camera bikes.

Bet it'd be a laugh to ride (the GTR not the Tour!).

I went to watch the Tour in Kent when it passed by. It had a whole fleet of them.

MCN road tested one last week against a K1200GT and FJR. It seemed to stack-up fairly well. I've sat on one and it seems a nice spacious ride for trans-European touring.
