That bike is freaking sweet, and thanks for the video, that was really informative to see inside the factory. That sucker is fast! Glad to see a cool bike coming from around where I live too...

First thing i would do is set it up for an afterburner, dump a dunch of fuel and that exhaust pipe and watch it really fly. Either way thats the most intimidating bike i've ever heard.
