That is SUCH a pretty bike, even with the predicable colours (in the racing shots).
OK, let's say they bring one out in 2008. That gives me a couple of years for all the bugs to be ironed out, and for Ilmberger or someone to come up with lots of go-faster items...
... and then I can blow a large hole in my retirement lump sum! EXCELLENT, DUDE!

The RWB bike has something strapped to the lower frame rail on the left hand side (silver canister just above the belly pan), but the black bike doesn't have this. Wossat, then? Looks like a fuel pump.....
Definitely looks better in black.

I'm anxious to see how they'll perform
I hate to say it, but the front with those air intakes do remind me of the R1200ST styling ..... but in better proportion.

Does anyone have the url of the site? I tried Google, but even putting in "24 heures moto" only brought me to the car site.
