I saw this today at the Belfast bike show and had the time to crawl over
under and round the beast. IMHO it is simply the most finely crafted
production bike I have ever seen, if anything too perfect. Black already,
dripping in carbon fibre, Ohlins finest front and rear, radial Brembo's, a
top yolk worthy of religious fervour, Oz wheels, 4 headlight fairing, satin
black titanium cans, everything in black etc. I couldn't think of anything I
would want to change on it.

I don't know the stats but probably not as fast as a Gixxer and possibly
faaar too much money to throw round a track (phew).

The ultimate MIB steed?

 

It has red paint. And white. the wheels are blue.

nuff said?

 

Yeah but not the one I saw as per my description you numpty! the one in the
pics is slightly Hom. but a black marker pen would sort it.

 

You are Vincent Price, AICMFF omelettes.

 

Hog said....

Someone doesn't fully understand the concept of M *I* B.

 

but surely a true MIB, has such an allegiance with black that he is
likely to be MOB as well as MIB.

If there were a *real* MIB that is...

 

That would qualify the subset "MIBMOB" ...

Have you convinced me yet?

 

Oh good call sir...

/me checks email for number.
apparently not^H^H^H^ yes and you're about to send me my number.

 

Doesnotcompute said....

Wasted I tell you, utterly wasted. I despair.

 

Surely there should be a subset *Appreciation of Mechanical Perfection*

 

Lay off the skunk, then.

I can be this laid back without needing it

At the risk of sounding like bear, my mate's had a go one one. The
Aprillia dudes in The Netherlands invited him to have a go. I'm fucked
if I can work out how tho, he rides an SV650 and has passed his test all
of six months ago. Go figure...

Eh? Surely that should be MOS[1] or MOC[2] or sommat? My bike's got more
black on it than yours[3].

[1] Sofa
[2] Crome
[3] And before you start, it's not the tarmac still lingering

 

It ain't no 'wing...

The bike isn't all chrome. and anything that isn't is black.

That'll be your blue (iirc) bike would it? I mean who'd buy a sprot bike
in a slow colour?

Heh, nuff said methinks.

 

Yes, they are rather tasty.

Not at all, the RSV constantly posts the faster lap times.

dixit Hog:

how about a switch to turn the lights off, especially as the battery is
probably going to be as flaky as the one on the previous model.

 

*coughs*

being male isnt a requirement.
