+1! Ever since the first time I threw a leg over a 675 I felt that turbine 
smooth motor and gear box has a lot of scope and development potential. Creating 
a capable off road bike around that mill would really give the likes of KTM 
and BMW a run IMHO. I reckon it would also work well as a mid weight tourer. 
Having done 700kms and more in a day and toured aboard my Daytona 675, its an 
easy conclusion to draw.

Cruisers arent my thing, but I'm interested to see where that 1600cc twin 
ends up in the grand scheme of things.

Brett.
