There's something about classic race bikes...

Do want.

This is not vintage. It's a new bike.

I would absolutely race a bike that looked like that so long as it has ground clearance, good suspension, good brakes, and POWAH!

Beautiful and way cool! Great power and light weight. I did not see a price but since it is an MV I would guess it fairly high. Cant believe how little trail it has and 18" wheels, I hope there are 17s available.

Yes the classic race bike. Timeless because they are an extension of the human body. The perfect blend of man and machine.

I'm thinking about putting a fairing like that on my 2001 since it came without a fairing.

It is not a fairing that fits with out modifications. The handle bars are ten inches lower than stock. Steering stops limit travel.
The radiator is very narrow and the radiator cap is under the very narrow fuel tank.
The dash and gauges also needed to be changed.
