Considering how completely uncomfortable these bikes were to ride, that's not a surprise. The bars are at the same level as the seat, fer cryin' out loud - a more radical position than the original race bike on which it was based. That, plus the original replica model had a single-shock swingarm which turned off a number of buyers. Subsequent PS Replica had dual shocks.
