"We wanted something more fun and confidence inspiring than anything we had done so far. With that vision, we immediately knew the bike had to set a new standard for performance and design. Now that it’s here, I can't wait to overtake all the Porsches stuck in Zürich traffic and see their reactions when my bike looks better than their car."
