it's manufactured for long overland trips, I wouldn't worry about looks when your stranded in the middle of no were, wae no petrol. I speak from experience . I ran oot of fuel in the middle of the tundrer ,between karuna and narvik . Janis my good lady wisnae happy. The sad thing was my bm had a 35ltr petrol .tank .thats what happens when u get pissed with some Swedish pals stig bjorg ,and his SMC pals (thumbs)daytona-supersport wrote:That has got to be the ugliest tank ever put on a motorcycle. :laugh:

I think you're right, acerbis have always had a range of various'one' colour tanks mind so maybe that's how they'll go interesting they've took the trouble with the moulding to include the badge roundel on the side. (I think I need to get out more :pinch: )
