A better marketing vid would be show the rider hoist a balance point and fade to black without touching down...some say the rider is wheelieing to this day...
about wut?
MA SBK?
itz [gonna be] a street bike/cruiser/*$ poser/whatevar.....
The one liter class is where the manufacturers display their most potent weapons.
OK, I grant you, the FTR1200 truly is, ".....their most potent weapon."
that said, it reminds me of the late '90s/early '00s,
1-make Buell Thunder Series;
it was very competitive - compared to wut?
other Buells.....
I wanna see a pro M/C journalist comparo:
FTR1200, 2011 XR1200S & other recent big 'sporty' Vs,
head to head on the street -
wonder how long it'll take, & who'll publish it?
You round up the bikes, I'll ride them!
yeah, me too!
how bout Gabe & Surj & a SFMC V-twin shoe + you as the testers?
:laughing Gabe’s not part of CityBike any more. For a long time now.
doh!
my point was,
use local mouthpieces & skilled local riders whom barfers likely trust [at some level]
oh, Caliph of City Bike, please focus your energies to making that comparo occur
.............. I expect it’ll pretty soundly teabag any of the stock Sporty-based stuff.
i'm into it. Looks like a fun bike.
