For some reason I just started singing the theme song to DuckTales.  :shrug:

I had "WoodVee" in my head reading through this, but "DaVee" is genius.

If Jacko doesn't put "dafee" up that would never have crossed my mind.

Do you know, I am starting to like the beak. Sort of eagle like...

:D
What I think needs revising more is the area around the headlamps. It doesn't look like it will offer as much protection as the Vee and accentuates the beak (which I now think I like, of course).

Maybe that's how they eliminate the buffeting, finally! Or maybe that's what the beak does - I can see MRA bringing out an adjustable, bigger, 'touring' beak if that's the case. lol

The horn is mounted under the beak so at least getting a replacement horn fitted will be easier than trying to squeeze it in behind the radiator (as on my old Wee.)

I have just read the article behind  the pictures from the Alps. They suspect that it might be in released third or fourth quarter of 2013 as a 2014 model, so maybe not so long to wait for now.

The horn emulates the mating call of the Canada Goose apparently.

I think it would be quite normal for a 2014 model to be launched in late 2013.
