I've got one booked towards the end of this month, I'm HOPING I don't get on with it as I really should get a new car instead. :)

Riding the Fazer in Scotland over the last few days has confirmed for me that there's still no danger of me wanting to replace it with anything, even had I unlimited funds  :)

Reminds me of Jonny 5 from Short Circuit.  I like the luminous yellow wheels. 
It's more about how it rides.

My thoughts exactly.
Plus, how long is that oil cooler going to last?

I must admit that oil cooler rad does look vulnerable, as for the bikes aesthetics....Yes, it looks ugly but so is an Apache helicopter but once you realize the awesome capabilities of it, it kind of grows on you.
Us Foccers (well, me in particular)  are of an age where retro stirs up feeling of nostalgia and anything new or modern is the work of the Devil and we have to be coerced into accepting it.
Some things grow on you the more you see them and I have a feeling that seeing this monstrosity streaking past you on the back wheel will leave you thinking that the rider might be having more fun than you and we can't have that, can we ? :)

It's not just nostalgia, they are ugly  ;)
