| | Posted : 26 Jul 2017 - 08:16 Post title : Spunky!! | | | Based on a 2006 1050cc machine, the Edition Vintage's cream and black paint job hark back to an earlier era. Modifications include parts treated with Teflon in black satin, a Creativ Vintage seat in distressed leather and a carbon front mudguard and chain cover. When shod with Continental TCK 80s, this Speed has an off-road style in stark contrast to its road-focused roots.

Modern block tyres are surprisingly grippy on tarmac, probably better than a 1990 road tyres.
