I will admit that, the Griffon at least looks decent, and a 750cc engine is nothing to sneeze at, but by even including the option of an automatic transmission, it loses a lot of credibility. The flip-up seat for a passenger looks like it'd totally negate any benefit to the designed low center of gravity.

More caustic. Less saint. :twisted:
