It's a neck breaker. As in it turns heads like few other bikes I've had. It's also a bit of a death trap and might kill me. Proper frightening sometimes. Didn't realise until I bought it, they're notorious for it it turns out. But it was one of those 'always wanted one' bikes. Saw it in a magazine in 98 and it's been the dream bike for years. Looks sick at least!

A Gary Klein bike... don't see many of those. How does it ride?
