Don't let the retro styling fool you, they are terrible quality bikes. The new, EFI ones are better than the old ones though, I'll conceed that.

I need a reference on such a libellous claim, but I believe parts fell off the bike in the factory demo video.

A hand painted tank in Oz can cost as much as the full arm sleeve tattoo on the guy painting your tank.

RE hand paint the tank and give you the rest of the bike for free.
