Nails;
Here is the custom Voyager XII I was referring to. It is a little different than I described but is still quite the departure from stock.

interesting
Okay, I was expecting to hate it, but it actually looks kinda nice. Many clever ideas, well executed. Probably'd make a great commuting scooter.
But I have to wonder why anyone'd put that much money and work into it, to turn around and sell it cheap. Suspect there's something about it that he can't live with.

Re: ZG1200R
It does sort of grow on a person after looking at it.
I'm sure there are a lot of hours on the bike.
Yes it does sort of look like a beast and I think that was the idea.
Not my cup of tea but I bet it would be fun to ride for short commutes as you say.
To each their own I say,
Dave

Yes, it does look sharp, interesting how he modified the false tank to cover spots for the fairing. With all that weight removed, I imagine it would be real sporty to tool around in. May be he's selling cheap, because he feels there is not much demand for such a bike.
