Seller claims:
"This motorcycle has an actual titanium steel frame and weighs 550 pounds!
This is a 200+ mph motorcycle and not designed for novice riders. Only manufactured the titanium series in 2003 and 2004. This is a Very rare and collectible bike"
Reality -
Nice looking bike ... but it's a Moto Guzzi with 74 HP, 70 ft/lbs torque, in a Metallic Titanium paint scheme.
Talk about exaggerating the truth !!

i'm still on the floor laughing at this, so if i mistype, you'll understand...
Q: As for the titanium frame and the 200 mph claims, where does that information come from? I've looked at several sources, and have found no such information in any specifications.
A: All european bikes are cabable of two hundred mph (Have you ever heard of the autobahn?). The frame is a detachable tubular duplex cradle in special high-strength steel, hence the 550 lbs the bike weighs. Thanks for the interest, Chris & Christena.

She said, "It's just a bike...It can be replaced...", and I said, "Good, now you and my bike have something in common...".

I noticed the clear photo of the speedo which only goes to 140mph.
I also liked the way it is supposed to keep up with an FZ1 on twisty
roads.
