But we can't buy them here
The 535 weight is great; one would think it will run forever as at 1300CC it shouldn't have to work too hard to make 100 HP

You yanks don't get the XJR? That's a shame, it's a nice bike that one. Really cheap on the used market if you buy a 15-year old model, too.

I'd like to cut that pipe at the rear shock.
And that tag thing at the rear of the seat.
Inverted forks would be nice.
Like that it doesn't have one of those awful looking sloped headlights.

Seems like many of the nakeds these days are over 500 lbs; not great but not a deal killer for many
The stupid muffler is an easy fix
Buying one in the US seems to be impossible
