too bad about the 17" front wheel....
... a 19 at least shows some pretense of offroad-ability, even if it is only fireroads... more ds tire choices as well
too bad they couldn't stuff the 1000 into the 650 frame...
.. decent looks and big power in a light, good handling bike is a winning combo
i'll withhold judgement on the looks until i see it in person... pics rarely do a bike justice...
