They achieved a pretty amazing 1/4-mile time with a 515-pound motorcycle generating just 102 horsepower.

I remember the bike getting pretty good reviews across the board when it made its debut in... what, 2004? It was never meant to compete directly with most liter-class sportbikes; more like an SV1000S than a GSX-R1000.

I always loved the looks, especially in black. Unless there is something really wrong with this example, it seems to be priced very low.

The article's mention of the superb handling, brakes and riding position would make up for the clutch, speedo, and mirrors. I've never seen one in person, but it looks very nice, especially in black. Go for it.
