The video gave me horrible visions of the usual idiot at a stoplight that will not stop randomly revving his Harley.

I know this is an old thread however I went to PPRE and did a quick photoshoot on the 6-rotor. In real life it is a work of art and was impressive to say the least in real life.

Few more photos inside the link:
