I'd say it's a good looking bike and will undoubtedly be as reliable as an anvil. I agree the American market wont be it's strongest but a few will sell and a few will sit on the show room floor a couple or three years then sell dirt cheap, I'll be looking for 1 then. It'd never replace my America but it'll definitely replace the Honda 919 I sold last year when the little woman got sick. Till then I'll hafta make do with my XR 650 L for sport riding, you'd be amazed how capable a dual sport(even without a supermoto conversion)can be if properly set up. Really pisses the Joe Rocket types off when u get around em in the tight stuff on a "dirt bike".
