Looks pretty sexy, would be hard to live with daily though based on the ergonomics though  ::)

It looks absolutely terrific. Not sure I could live with the ergos at this point though

That is a fantastic looking bike....being a fluffy fella, that thing would be an uncomfortable ride to say the least.

I'm a fatty boombalada and I didn't find it too horrible.

I love the look of this bike, but I  imagine anything longer than an hour's drive would be too much for this old body of mine.  :'(

whew...i was going to post a similar response, but didn't want to feel like an old man (regarding the ergonomics)...i guess i'm in good company in here.  ;D

like the others, looks great, but i can't imagine that being overly comfortable long term...if i were buying in this bracket, i think the RnineT Pure looks pretty decent at $12,950.

The nice thing about the R nine T is that it comes in different flavours,

The Urban G/S is quite different from the Racer
