I received the spec sheet opposite from Mark Hanna with the final comment:

"what more can I say Mike?

and my simple reply is:

"Not a lot Mark, not a lot... looks bonny, just one thing, when do I get to ride it?"

Oooh, just look at it... it's currently on show at the NEC.

I can't wait to swing my leg over it.
