It has very fresh styling but will not be a big seller here because of the price and dealer support. Also, from the info that I have received talking to ACTUAL MV riders, these machines have a lot of bugs that need to be worked out before they are reliable machines. If they can keep the price at a reasonable level (not much money around these days) they will sell a few here in the states. I hope that they do as it's an interesting bike.

And how did anyone come up with a 57" weight for it? What’s wrong with the muffler appearance? And how did anyone come up with a 57″ weight for it?

No attraction for me, whatsoever, none. Did I mention the styling sucks? Very “cartoon-like” styling, if that’s your thing. No attraction for me, whatsoever, none.

Besides being the ugliest silencer of all time, it weighs 57 lbs. That's unacceptable for a bike in this price category. And it still needs conchos. It’s mostly that muffler.
