No Comparision

Not surprising that the Buulll 12x Lightning's profile is similar, say, copy cat.
The S3 is by far the iconic naked.

I put my deposit down last week. It is by far the coolest thing I have ever seen (with the exception of Peter Beardsley scoring against the mackems on New Year's Day, 1986)

And it was soooo embarasing to be overtaken by a motorhome 'cos the running in limit was 3500rpm (92kmh in top)

my love for flat black may sway me in this direction... even though a custom matte thruxton could be "cooler"

matte black

I just put a deposit on one today. Can't wait until it gets here. Does anyone know if I can buy the accessories in matte black? I am looking for a fender eliminator, a belly pan kit and a seat cowl kit.
