Very pretty and a fun artical. I wonder how long you can ride before the bottom of your boots burst into flames.

I love this quote: ..." A great deal of effort has gone into suspension design, a crucial focus when riding a bike like this far faster than the original maker of the bike or the maker of the rider ever intended." It is a thing of beauty.

Is it just me, or does the engine look a bit askew vis-a-vis the forks and front wheel in the head-on photo?

The forks are turned slightly to the bikes left in that photo.
