Hmmmm belt drive and a single-sided swingarm ... How long before someone fits it to a TDM?

We'll have to wait till some sorry soul has a head on crash before someone can get their hands on one a those swingers

It would be lovely though

Prefer this personally took me a while and I'm still not sure about the seat but I think I'm smitten




Now, can somebody advise me how I can afford it...........

Yep


wait a few months until the rust spreads

once its decayed it'll be worthless, and you will be able to buy it at scrap value

Now that is probably the only bike I would trade my TDM in for in the blink of an eye...
I have a great plan so you can afford one. The scheme is simple:
1) you wire me half of the money
2) simply wait until one day the XB12X falls out of the air straight into your garage

Isn't that a new model?

And I thought 850 exhausts were shite..........

The exhasust does not show in that pic... the thing underneath is the shock for the rear swingarm.
Those who were saying 'ahhhhhh' realize its <i>powered</i> by a Harley-Davidson engine?

Edit: Correction below.

<b>I was wrong</b> that <b>is</b> the exhaust! (Where is the high temperature paint?)
(the sport buells put the rear shock there) the rear shock on this model is where you would expect it to be.

That rim-mounted front brake rotor is interesting though.

Although it sports a Harley-Davidson engine it is probably the new EVO - (more than 2 valves) - engine.
