I can’t see the reason behind making it more powerful to be honest?

Spec sheet snobbery.

How's the Fantic.?..I saw a Ltd edition one in the dealers the other day with a 1970s style tricolour tank stripe and tank-bag.

It looked fantastic.

I’ve been away for ten days so haven’t ridden it for a while I’m enjoying it up to now, whenever I park up people come over look at it then invariably say “what is it”, hoping to get out on it this weekend to get it up to first service mileage as I’ve been running it in but not to gently. If people have a mind to you can change the tank colours easily as it’s only a skin but it’s a £300 skin!!

Meantime, you go on the TET facebook page and it's littered with photos of very big 'trail' bikes, ambitiously overloaded, lying on their side with no really difficult hazard in sight. Nobody ever came back from a proper day/week/month of off-road biking and said "I wish my bike had been heavier".
