Humm. Well...
Looks kind of what we all expected. Looks quite lightweight, nonetheless!
Nice: 21" front wheel, good for off-road!

Nice: slim rear end. Seems like they found a way of how to ged rid of that
chimney up the right side of the rear end. Maybe it's even a double exhaust
system, very much like SLR650 and Dominator?

Interesting: how stiff will the chassis be with the rear swingarm directly
attached to the engine and not to the frame? how will this system behave in
the desert or on a MX track?

Potential Problem: where are the upper mounting points for chrash bars? ok,
they'll find some.

Big Problem: account balance :-(((

Greets
