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...

One more of those show and no go ... they built a hand made frame and tank and turbocharger and put the Idiotic UNI pods on it ... :cookoo: ... un Fu(king believable.
Cool.
Buddha.
Turbo? There's a turbocharger? I can't find it.

LMAO I didn't want to sound stupid. I didn't see it either?
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?

My sentiments exactly! :cookoo:
