Husqvarna Street bikes.

I have to say that this is the first time any motorcycle manufacturer has made a bike that literally fills all of the criteria for the ideal bike in my mind. http://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/vitpilen/

The Vitpilen 701, which to be fair is just a "cafe" style KTM Duke 690 with a few differences, has me entirely enamored. 75hp 693cc single cylinder in a 340lb bike with, in my eyes, gorgeous styling.

The only thing that stops me from trying to get in line to order one is the price...

$11,990

The 401 versions are a decent price at right around $7000, but I think they are somewhat pricing themselves a bit out of the market.

Yes, it comes with Brembo brakes, damn good suspension, and lots of other goodies, so I can forgive it a steep price tag. Just not THAT steep. There are many JDM bikes in the same power/engine size class that cost almost $5000 less.

Anyway, just a rant. Discuss at your leisure.
