Just spotted this on another forum. I'd be far more manly of course if I was in his position, but the car looks aaaaawesome!

I want a CSR 260 or an R400SV (as I'm a fat bd and need the SV spec).

I think the video of the chap with his son is a great video. But the one with the willy woofter screaming and crying shows the car being driven quickly, which I guess the dad didn't want to do too much as he didn't want to risk his little laddie.
Either way I'd absolutely love one of these, although I can only imagine how much my bird would moan at me if I was driving like the first guy. Although I suppose it wouldn't matter as I wouldn't be able to hear her!

Looked like a sequential shift to me, and as it was on the road with a wee laddie sitting beside him, I'm not surprised he wasn't smashing it up and down at full pelt.

I thought so too but I'd rather have this than a state of play where it's impossible for the little fellah to see what fun hs dad has in the car...

Its the exposed bit that gets to a lot of people. I have been out in a similar car and the air pressure in my ear was a problem, didn't like it and was uncomfortable.

Full face helmet at 70+mph with less protection, no problem.
