Now that definitely looks like a "stormtrooper" bike.

Pretty sweet. :up:

This bikes were originally expected to arrive as early as '05. Looks good though.

Am I the only one that thinks the view from the front on that bike is terrible? I love the tail section though!

Almost 1,200cc to boot.

I agree with Brian, that actually does take on a bit of Stormtrooper-esque look. Very cool. I like.

The front makes it look like a goldwing. The plastics rise too high and the winsdcreen is too narrow. The headlight looks like an afterthought. The tail is pretty nice tho. Get rid if that spaceship of a tag holder and that bike would be money

This is a pic of the prototype from 2004. Had a HUGE swingarm and I liked the color scheme a little more than the production bike.
