It does look lovely and something about a 6 cylinder bike is appealing for no apparent reason :P

Call me picky but did the mirrors look like they would give you a good rear view or just a close up on your elbows.  :lol


A really classy bike, another thing to buy when my premium bonds come up.

Sounds expensive, think I'll wait for a second hand model  :)

The graphite chain lube is not that expensive, I saw it at the Paris bike show in 2011, basically it's a block of graphite mounted on the swinging arm that the bottom of the chain rubs on intermittently as the suspension does it's thing.

I love that fabulous hairpin !
 
horex looks cool, almost like that honda cb1100 in styling from a distance.... :)
 
6cyl engines always sound superb....

Interestingly I thought it looked like it had a drive belt?

although clearly not looking the same it also reminds me a little of that bike Philippe Starck designed and I didn't like that either.
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
