    This is wonderful in every way I can think of from the reflection on the side of the bike to the way the graffiti adds to the atmosphere of the shot. Well done!

    You're welcome to have a look in my site: http://sventekoz.smugmug.com. There are quite a few there, including some of my old MV Agusta Brutale and quite a few other bikes.

    It was a fantastic bike to ride, but alas I had to get rid of it when it was less than 12 months old. I'm afraid the build quality was VERY poor, and I was worried that if I kept it I'd wind up hating it and it would cost me a fortune.

    I hear you there. Though I liked my K1200GT, I got rid of it for the same reason. I also felt like it would leave me on the side of the road somewhere. It was a 2007, the new design and fraught with throttle and idle issues.
