FWIW, I shared the link with a friend who promptly replied that he loves the bike but doesn`t think it will be a good seller here (referring to Quebec, Canada).... sadly, he may be right... it`s not an 800 lb, 40 hp, dipped-in-chrome Made-in-Milwaukee two-wheel vibrator.......

I was just going to start a thread about it.
That's the first motorcycle I've seen in a long time, where my first reaction, followed by a more-informed 2nd reaction is "I want one."

I might be becoming a relic, but i'm not feeling the styling...I like naked bikes, but this one doesn't have anything that just draws me in. I do like the older FZ1 and FZ6, maybe this one will grow on me over time, but as of now...it's a no.
Personally, when it comes to naked styling, I think we peaked about a generation ago with the Ducati Monster.

I have seen photos of one with a presumably factory made fly screen on it. There is a large gap between the headlight and console with 4 visible screws in it. This bike should be popular enough that ZG or Puig (both?) will come up with windscreen solutions for it.
Plus, it's almost a certainty that other platforms will emerge with this drive-train and frame (similar to Honda's recent method). The economy of motorcycle production almost dictates it.
