I like it. It's just what the donor bike was that's the issue. I suppose it's one less which makes all the rest worth a bit more. That's @Exige o nomics, that is.
I agree. There would be less emotion if it was a modified Monster. We don't know what the state of the donor bike was, maybe it was damaged and the cost of repair became so eye watering that this became the result of a decision to "get the Desmosedici roadworthy".
