My views having only had a short spin on one once. Awsome looks but a touch of the old Marmite syndrome. I really dont thing they will age well , far too modern and angular, unlike a 916 range or MV . Superb adjustability in everything so you really can customise the bike to suit yourself. They would appear to have a residual value of a sinking rock although the RC8R may be better than the RC8. Summary, heart say yes, head say no.
