I read about it in the August issue of Cycle World. Dave Edwards loves the bike.
Here is a link to their web article and some photos.

I personally would rather a sport bike, since you look like your trying to get there anyway with that one. I know this is going to get me **** but I really like the CBR's by the "red" guys. I took a long trip down the highway with a 1000cc (way too much bike imo) and it was quite comfortable to say the least. I always thought a sport bike would be a backache but it was suprisingly ok.

That being said, not only isn't it as versatile as the Versys but it really is a completely different kind of bike.

It really is a beautiful piece of machinery. I'm torn between one of them or a Fat Boy. Well not really torn, I do want a fat boy, but only if the price is right.

Definitely get the sport bike for now. You can get the Hardley Ableson when you are old and fat. [sm=exactly.gif]

ahhhh yeah. It puts me in a predicament for sure. Too fat for a sport bike, too young for a HD. I guess thats a wakeup call to do something about it, I've gotta get OLDER

Nah I'd get the sportbike before that. The HD comes from when I was 11 years old and I saw Terminator 2 for the first time. I thought the governator was the coolest thing ever on that bike and ever since I've wanted one. Maybe I should look for a 91 fat boy
but back to the versys. its a nice bike, just wouldnt be my style.

It's funny you mention that movie because that was right before the Yuppie Wannabe explosion of the Harley craze and the Fat Boy was brand new. It looked totally awesome with Aronld on it. It looked like one bad bike. I think Arnold sold a ton of Fat Boys along with those sunglasses that he wore in the movie.
