Pat has obviously grown a fair bit then :D I saw him back in January and he was still shorter than me (I'm 5'8") but if Marquez is 5"6" then looks like Pat will be towering over me next time I see him!

Bit of a mixed review. So not only does it sound like a 600 but it's engine is similar in delivery.

They'll struggle to sell the base model at that price
