The headlights DO look wicked.  They've adopted the same 'angel eyes' that the bmw cars have.  Additionally, they've got a pretty cool safety feature, being gyroscopically operated.  On acceleration, they'll rotate forward, keeping the light on the road.  Braking, they'll point up, keeping the light 'down the road' a bit.  Turns? Wow, this is where they are really functional. They counter the banking of the bike.  Heck, read up on it yourself- cool idea, but I hate to take the bike in to have all this stuff fixed if it breaks.  BIG $$$. 
I still secretly want one   :yikes:    -was that outloud????

  • The C14 is vastly overrated.

i want one too, but hard to find $26,000 laying around. most of our paycheck is going to high federal taxes and insurance premiums supporting all of the illegals here.
