Wow - that looks fantastic! Please post some thoughts on what it's like once you've put some miles on it... I could be very tempted by one

Cheers Guys... Love the Vader comment.
My bike does have a screen to make the Motorway more practical, a touch of Carbon Fibre of course! It is really quite a comfortable bike to ride, much more than it looks... I love this reporters review of the bike, his first impressions:
The bike has a slightly disturbing tendency to make the rider produce bizarre whooping noises while going for the most dubious overtaking opportunities available in the certain knowledge that, regardless of the gear the machine is in, it will make the gap with time to spare.
It sounds disturbingly like a large, powerful outboard motor, spitting farting and burbling on the over-run. At low speed the sound pressure, even with earplugs in, is slightly uncomfortable as you crack the throttle open and your ears pop from the sudden vacuum.
It’s huge. Until you get on it, when it shrinks. Ooh err.
It has the comfiest seat ever made. And that’s official.
It has fantastic brakes.
It handles like a sportsbike and doesn’t weave around high speed sweepers even with the throttle pinned to the stop. Though the back does start to slide.
Small children point and stare when you coast by, and start crying if you accelerate. If you roll off the throttle they get blown over by the back-blast.
Cats and other small mammals explode if they enter the exclusion zone around the exhaust area.
I think I rather like it…
