I sat ´in´ the R111 at the Sydney bike show too and although the fuel tank seems to go on for ever the machine fits like a comfy well worn glove. When someone else sits on the R111 she looks huge and its only then that you come to realise this so called comfy glove will pack a punch like Tyson is wearing it! Its true, photos don´t do it justice. I ordered one back in January and was told then that I was the number 100th customer for one in Australia already...
