WTF!

Might as well buy the autobox VFR and ride carefully on the 6km dirt to home.

What an almighty FUBAR.

I sometimes despair with the slant-eyed people.

Sorry, nope no more specs... someone mentioned 240 kg wet for the 800cc V4 CrossRunner on ADVRider... the CrossTourer, well, see my last pic.

the 800 is designed for tar only according to this site...

As if it wasn't obvious from the peekchas ;D

Yup. Mags and everything. Looks interesting for a "padbike". Different. All road bikes look the same these days.

Not sure what's the point of that bike to be honest. It looks heavy too, not sure if it really is. But for upright commuter/city bike it looks too wide and too heavy and won't be able to come close to Hornet CB1000R in power or usability as well as to most of "euro nakeds". Plus it seems to have shedloads of things to break if God forbid it falls on the side. And wind protection does not seem to be so good to make it long-distance hauler.
