When I woke up today I never thought that by 1pm I'd want to be a saddle!

I agree very pretty bike, probably equal only to the mighty Lav 750SFC? Wasn't the S the valve spring version that became the Desmo SS Imola bike?

It must've broke down or something cos it's on a trailer for most of the shoot, as seen here.

Eugh! Yeah I should think things through a bit more. They do say 'be careful what you wish for'!

There be Monsters......

The original 'long' late night television advertisement been around for ages and most shown now in the much shortened version.

I thought it was a 750SS as well (there was one at Goodwood on Sunday and very lovely it was too) except for at 0.43 when it jumps the steps when it grows a radiator and some longish travel suspension and I know Keira is not the most blessed lady in the booby department but that ain't no girl jumping that bike.

Bonus points for anyone that spotted the three Monsters that the blokes are riding when they pull up along side her at .037.
