It does.
A friend had one back in the day, and I really wanted one - still do! I don't like the modern BMWs nearly as much - they've lost the simplicity that made them so easy to work on at home.
I like the shape and design, it's the colour scheme that puts me right off.

They are both oil paintings compared to the new Yamaha Niken 3 wheel MT09 thingy! Though I must admit it seems to look slightly less hideous than the prototype version.
