P.S. I read on the the very nice Dutch XS1 site that some guys do not believe me and think that this bike was going to be the Ascot bike (there are a few around). This is absolutely not correct! NVT made 2 bikes for us, one is still in Japan and the other is (I do know where it is...). The Amercano's (YMUS) had absolutely nothing to do with this project.

Here is another good picture from the machine were you can see already some more details like the twin short exhausts on one side.
