180kg (dry) is some achievement.

It’s a lovely looking bike but I’m not sure I like the colours, they emphasise the height of the tank, and that silencer, yuk.

I guess it might be a bit of a hoot to ride though ;)

I think the stocker would be enough for me. Looks better too.

Limited appeal these bikes. Power is all fine and well but on the road with the shitty condition of them and how bloody overcrowded they have become I think one is unlikely to enjoy it for long.

You don’t enjoy any bike for long regardless of price :)
 
No point having a MotoGP bike if you can't sell a road version.

Recent history would suggest so but I've owned plenty powerful enough bikes that are great on quiet roads but nowadays these times are gone, still wouldn't mind a play on one.
 
It’s probably no good...Boxerwuss couldn’t handle it.....it’s not like he’s Jeremy McWilliams. :aidan
 
looks amazing and no doubt in the right hands amazing to ride - having not long sold my mark 1 version makes me want another one but I love the 790R it was swopped for
