Title: Augusta Brutale
Post by: Foxx4Beaver on February 01, 2014, 12:31:14 AM

I don't know anything about these, but I figured I'd post it just for the seriously aggressive look....curious how much punch it has, and how well they handle, not that I'm considering shelling out nearly $20K on a road bike :|....

 :-o Sexy! Seems like more and more of manufactures are producing the naked/ streetfighter look.

Ya way to much $$ though. And it seems like it kinda defeats the purpose a bit buying that particular streetfighter style vs building one yourself.

I agree on the "too much money"...I'd rather spend less than 1/2 that on a lightly used ZX10, GSXR 1000, or R1...and be plenty happy.
