The R1 and ZX-10 are the best Japanese designs to come out in years. However the real difference is in the minute details. You've really got to get close to the Brutale to see the real genius in sculpting every part.
Sean's let me ride 12 bikes for which MO was responsible. I believe there is enough mutual respect between us to know that he would ride it hard without subjecting it to undue harm.
I've got 1500 miles on it with no problems. The thing is stout no question. My bikes aren't trailer queens and it will be ridden as hard as the others - just not as far!
I think they make more than that. Now that Proton is pumping in cash, MV has Ducati-like sales goals. I think they'll need some entry-level bikes if they hope to acheive that.
