You will have to click on the download photo icon at the botom of the screen if you want to read the text. Taken from todays MCN.
Better pics from the Raask website can be found here Link
I also notice that MCN say they will be doing a road test on the new Factory Big Bore very soon! Will keep you posted.
Sad that Suzi Perry is leaving the BBC coverage of MotoGP though

While I'm glad there are folks playing with the bird ultimately I don't think this works. It just doesn't fit the cafe concept (could any 700lb bike?) but more importantly from an aesthetic stand point the thing looks like it has a broken back. The tank tips into the seat and then sort of falls off at the end... sort of like, well a cruiser. Cafe's should have that nice straight backbone.
Like I said, glad to see it, some nice parts came out of it, but as a complete bike FAIL
