I'm not sure. I don't think I like it. It looks like the designers weren't sure how they wanted it to look, so we've ended up with Homer's Car.

I actually quite like it. But like many things seeing in the flesh always helps.

I liked the original Scrambler and I liked the 1200 Explorer/Tiger, not sure I like that though. :^

I’ve seen that tank before somewhere, an off-roader from the 60’s or 70’s iirc, but not surprising given the look that the stylists wanted I guess.

£11500 for the road biased bike and £12300 for the more off road version. Not bad value in today's money.

Looks to be a very capable and good looking bike.

I would like to try some proper trail riding. Not proper off road mx stuff but riding to places off road. Wales seems ideal.

That actually looks pretty decent. Still screams "Steve McQueen Tribute Bike" to me.
