Sick ass v-twin, 1640cc's, air charger on the mock gas tank, no frame top be seen and gas filler in the tail. like the design.

That's a pretty sweet ride, although I'd almost say there's not enough bike there to work for me aesthetically, esp up front.  I might get one one day but probably after my Ferrari F430 or something.

Meh.  Just buy a Buell.


The X4 two-stroke 500 concept on that page, however.... that's the hotness. 
Wake me up when those go into production.

If I wanted a tractor, I'd buy a John Deere.  I definitely wouldn't buy a funny looking thing with yet another Harley motor in it, an uncomfortable seat, and a gas tank barely large enough to get me from here to a gas station.

:cookoo:
