Why would it? Both the bhp and torque are lower than the BMW's.... It's also ugly as sin and has an exposed chain. Low power and those make it a deal breaker. The Kwak is also nasty, I've sat on one and really dislike it. Proves that it is always what suits the individual that matters and that we all have slightly different preferences.

Nice little bike romp. I have ridden the Beemer. It had only done minimal kms and I found my Tmax far more exciting. Only sat on the kwaka and didn't feel comfortable. I have had a street triple R and felt no more or less connected to the road so I suspect youthful 'purist' snobbery is at work there.

Anyone know where I can get a brown paper bag to put over 'my ugly as sin' bike.
