Grab some biscuits and brew, this is a long read.

[Mr Gazza]

I don’t blame you! That was my first reaction too. Then I heard someone say, “It’s electric.” And I got up and had a closer look.
We recently had a clandestine UKMOC meet in deepest Norfolk. After some Monsters and other tasteful Italians arrived, I was startled to see my friend and stalwart club member Kingfisher88 arrive on what my kneejerk reaction told me was an abomination! As the milliseconds ebbed, so did my prejudices. So this is not the latest tasteless Japanese interpretation of a naked superbike, but rather an unfortunately styled offering from the US powered by electricity.

Peeling back the layers, the quite horrid graphics are merely vinyl appliqué designed to attract attention. Underneath is a reasonably conservative metallic maroon paint job, but on some bizarrely shaped bodywork, probably not to all tastes? The massive brick where the engine should be is another visual note that jars the conventionally trained eye, and the pillion footrest hangers are just silly, unless your name is Hermes.
It had better be good to get over those first impressions....Read on if you’re not already feeling too poorly.
