*grin* yet another "most powerful urban hooligan wheelie tool"?
I think that the BMW R1100R once got awarded that title by Perfomance Bike.
Tse... as if you could do wheelies with a shaft driven motorcylce
*shakes his head*

I have seen none of them yet. But the last link posted to the list shows a 
concept that might very close to reality. Apart from the plastics design, 
it actually matches the "greek" XRV1000 on Micha's page.
[Micha, are you gonna add the picture to it?]

I am pretty sure that I'll be able to have a seat on the new twin in 
september at the INTERMOT in Munich. See you there!

Too bad I most probably won't be around in early august... 
Arizona instead of Glarus...
