Wow! Nice looking bike. I'm not completely into the 'naked' bike look, but I like this one. I like the idea of the coded keys, where no other key could be modified to work. I was especially impressed with the bikes ability to switch between sport, touring, or rain with the flip of a switch. Based on the author's review, each worked quite well and applicably, and would be a great feature on the FZ6. The only thing that I didn't care for was the mileage of this bike, especially in sport mode (which was 33mpg). Other than for my personal enjoyment, I did buy my bike to help save on gas. However, the bike did do much better on mileage while in touring mode (41.5mpg).

Thanks for sharing the article!

That is an awesome bike! They have one at Leo's in Lakeville, MN and it is a little pricey though.

Have you guys seen the video on their website. Not only do they show the bike, but there are females and wow, you can tell that's not a US or Japanese company.
