Infact I like the whole look. Sod you Mr GS Advenure with your reliability & your shaft drive. Give me Italain duct tape flair any day.

Does look a bit "Batbike" esque i guess, and wouldnt be hard to look better than a GS

Is it huge, or is the test-rider of Olly-esque proportions?

Heres the teaser shot thats been doing the rounds for the past few weeks

And the test rider is a short arse apparantly.

Quite a bit of front-end vibration to sort out there

Sam thought the bike was huge too till i convinced her the rider was on the vertically challenged side of life

Air/oil cooled are also harder to keep clean with all the fins, and can therefore tend to corrode earlier.

Typically though I will grant air/oil cooled bikes use cheaper plugs, but I only have experience of XJ600 vs CBR900, and the price difference isn't that big.

Ducati engine families

Air-cooled = two valve, 8 shims, single OHC

Water-cooled = four valve, 16 shims, DOHC

Both packaged in a similar overall sized head, ones got water cooling jacket, pipework and radiator, other hasnt.

The extra gubbins make it all very cramped, belt change on a SOHC is easy, on DOHC its a pain.
