Just to fuel the debate a little more a discussion with my local dealer two days after he had been to the dealer conferance at Hinkley My comment was "I can't ever see me with a R3 cos I like the ethos of the bonny based "BIKE"" and he nigh on promised me the option for a parrallel twin based cruiser ala SM/BA looking like a "motorcycle" over 1200cc possibly 2006. Ive already told him YES,,, eyes and ears wide open.. cheers
