To me it's still an ugly ass V-twin vibrating POS but for those that like them here is more info on the "Proto Slug" and yes they spent $350,000 making this bike, Why? I guess it's another stimulus plan by Osama Obahma

The price IS ridiculous. I love this style of these bikes though just like the RSD ones. It not only for show but definitely GO. And what's wrong with a vibrating V-twin? I guess you are more of a parallel twin EFI guy.

Here's a nice parallel twin though...

Turbo?  There's a turbocharger?  I can't find it.

Seamax, I agree w/ you that it is damn cool looking, but here's why it doesn't appeal to me....

#1 It has a Harley engine in it
#2 It has a 300 rear tire, you'd need two men and a boy just to get it to turn.
#3 That stretched swingarm makes it even worse.
#4 It's not even fuel injected!

Too much of a robobike look for me.  The pipes look like they were inspired by either Rube Goldberg or Dr. Seuss, I can't decide, and why does it seem everyone today wants a back tire that's 2 feet wide?  :dunno_white:

Nice work, but for $350 thou?   :cookoo:  This is a rich country, ain't it?
