I'm digging it. I wonder how much $?

I'm guessing $8K - $10k.

Aggressive riding posture. Dual front rotors mean STOP NOW.

They also released the F800ST at the Milan show this week. Fully faired, hard bags, less agressive ergos.  I've been trying find a 5/8 scale tourer for a while, and this and the Multistrada are as close as I've been able to find.  

If we could get triumph to build a 675 Sprint...

A 675 Sprint would be nice.

add a trellis frame and it kinda looks like a Monster.  It is a sweet bike though for my usage (and age) i don't think i could assume such posture for a prolonged period.  I do love Twins though. Gonna get me one of them shirts... :P

I actually like the 650 Daytona a lot.  There was one in the apt complex next to mine, red, and it was hot.  I would prob go yellow though.
