    That looks really nice.
    Think I'd change the handle bar grips and lose the saddle bag.

    Sweet bike, I feel exactly the same about my '04 model, it doesn't see the light of day much now because of the Cove but soon as I sit on it it just feels right.

    it's weird with saddle bags, I use 'em, if you're going solely off looks I've come to the conclusion the smaller they are the odder and gayer they look. and a large topeak aero with straps looks about right (and best). ....just thought I'd throw that little nugget into the mix.

    Very nice, the colour schem on Spesh have almost always been spot on.

    I fell in love with the 08 enduro - yunno the gold/brown one with the dc forks.

    I like that a lot :D
    I think the 2011 paint jobs are much nicer than the 2010 (and the spec is better!)

    YES! I almost bought one (a shop demo bike) before I got the EX8, but it wasn't the right size. :cry:


    Very nice ride though buddy, always wanted to build a black and white themed bike.

    Good looking bike. Was in the concept store in Stafford the other day. They do some greAt colour schemes. Green and black big hit looked awsome.
