Bikes like this never have and never will sell well in the US.  We're all about cruisers and crotch rockets.  My money is that we never see it.

Looks nice though.   :thumbup:

I like it.   :thumbup:

But Brock's right... it's not a cruiser....  When i read that it was only on the other side of the pond, with out evening seeing a picture, i knew it wasn't going to be a "Cruiser"

Damn you harly and your mentality for totally cockblocking nice bikes like this in the US.

Your right, it's not a "X". But it might be fun to ride.

The specifications indicate a pretty high seat height (850 mm or 33.5 in).  Too high for short-legged guys like me.  Who are they trying to imitate . . . BMW?

I've never been one for this type either however it does seem to take after the Yamaha vee-stom and the FJR (don't know the brand.). I do these out there quite often.  But, not really my thing, so don't know.

With the V4, 6speed, shaft drive, and the high low parts. I can see it as my next bike. Its hard to make a bike that does everything well but if it gets to this side of the pond I will be there to give it a try.
