and the RHS of the rear axle. Wot thuh

I think it's more attractive to a Blackbird rider who wants to do a bit of touring now he starting to settle down.
It comes in Candy Red, so it's not all bad.

It just wan't comfortable.

I reckon it could give anything a whipping in terms of power - what a beast! - but a tourer it ain't. Small tank, fixed wind-shield, small panniers, small rear seat, cramped leg position.
