I've just been having this conversation somewhere else, the days of manufacturers building loss making motorcycles are gone, the design of a new six cylinder engine for something that will sell in limited numbers won't stack up with the accounts department, probably end up a bored out 4 cylinder 1000 to 12 something and call it a 1300

That's just f'ing stupid! Over engineered and totally pointless. . . . . .

And I've just had a gentleman's accident.

I think its dna is more evident than the new 900. Still actually resembles the original.
