I think they will. The scoops are actually, as you know, not that big in person. I expect the live appearance of the CR to be much better than the photos.

I like the "action shots":

We're not talking about "fantasy" bikes that we cannot afford, correct? But just anything that we can afford to buy if we can buy it right now?

Super Duke R. The hopped up "R" version is going to be the ultimate naked bike.

Why does Italian sportbikes have to cost so damn much !! Can't they take a lesson from the Japanese and make them more affordable !! I can just justify 12,000 for a top of the line sportbike more than I can justify 25-30K

can't forget about this baby to add to the stable when I win the powerball!! Benelli tornado Tre

I agree, not sure what it is, but buells always seem to look better in person than in pics.
