but its a triumph of form over function. they wanted to built a flat track style bike, that looks the part, and they wanted a motor with enough go but they didnt want the radiator to be visible, so, in a masterstroke of styling over practicality, they put the radiator on an off road style bike right in front of the back wheel where it will catch every pebble and bit of shale thrown up by the back wheel, and be almost instantly clogged with any mud you ride through. if that bike were used on the shale, or dirt oval, then the radiator wouldnt last a meeting, and if it were used on the road, then it wouldnt last a whole lot longer. its either going to be punctured and leak out till the engine cooks itself, or else its going to get clogged up causing overheating till the engine cooks itself. this assumes of course that the engine hasnt killed itself by sucking any water that gets thrown off by the back wheel straight down the throat of the carb. dont get me wrong, it looks great, and if anyone wants a bike to ride for short distances on dry days on pre swept tarmac roads, or to stand round loking at outside the craft beer shop in camden town, then im sure this is just the ticket.
