I'd like to know more about this... what's the deal? What's the CC?

Most likely the 690 LC4 from their Supermoto.

Could be my next new bike - says a lot since I haven't purchased new since 1984.

The black and orange def looks better than the tired silver paint. Not sure about the headlight/shield assembly either...the two panels dont move....but if they did slide open to reveal the headlight, that would be pretty slick. Unnecessary, but slick! The integrated can is trick too. Otherwise, killer looks. And I'm not an origami-bike fan either. But this one can grow on you.

thats ahh let me see, Euro to the US dollar...... $285,799.00 US dollars

[nefarious]

believe its pounds to dollars and more like 21,000

I was expecting to see it around 18K. So anyone work in a pharmaceutical lab want to buy instruments from me so I can get lots of commissions and buy this?

[bfriend]

Don't write it off yet. We have more buying power as a country and things are generally cheaper here. So even with the 2:1 ratio between dollars and pounds it will most likely come in closer to 18k than 20k.

However, I could be full of shit too...
