Given the remit, that one is typical 'form over function'.

They should have used the 650, as it has a backup kickstart.

The 800 is FI, so no bumpstarting that baby out in the boonies when the battery fails!

Battery box under the swingarm for rough trails? Great idea.

Low mufflers ditto?

Is that a number plate hanger on the starboard rear suspension? Nicely vulnerable in a spill, better on the centreline. And where's the lighting?

That rear wheel is going to throw all sorts of stuff onto the swirgarm and engine, but hey, it looks good, who cares if it's practical!

Some people are just plain daft IMHO.

         As long as a mouse doesn't crawl up the exhaust and start eating the valves it'll be fine
