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.

(Bear in mind, this criticism is coming from the guy with the 125cc bike.)
More caustic. Less saint. :twisted:
