I have wanted one of these since they came out. They setup at a local mall often and let you test drive it around the parking lot. I stay away from it when they do it, because I know I will be tempted to sign on that dotted line.

I read a test of this baby in Cycle World, I guess it has the same basic engine as and RSV Mille Aprilla so engines or parts/electronics may be interchangeable to some extent.
Not 100% certain but it's worth looking into.
