I quite like the styling
No mans land I reckon. Kinda like the Ducati hyperetard...

Heavy and tiny tank with only 90hp - I would say both the SM and the Duke III will kick its arse in their respective specialties...

I think it looks a bit like Daffy Duck

Yeah, its supposed to be about 410lbs, so its aimed at the Duc Hypermotard. The Duke III is far to light to be considered alongside that faux-motard Shiver.

Local dealer here has been out on one and he was surprise how easy it was to ride and how effective the power delivery was. He was left with a very positive impression and felt because the price is going to be very competive (although would not say how much) he would be making a few quid (ok euros) over the coming weeks If I read between the lines correctly the list price will be 8990 euro's. That compares to 12990 euors for the KTM SM 950 and 9909 euros for the Duke III and finally 16990 euro for the Ducati thing.

Its not a bad looking bike but not one I will rushing to test. Then again it cost nothing to take a test ride LOL
