Must admit that apart from number 4 they are pretty insane.

I think I'll stick to my SV though :-)

Much rather have a Confederate or Wakan - much more civilised... :cool:

I mean how fun can melting car bumpers behind you in traffic be?

A confederate appeals to the inner hillbilly lol.

Building a bike around a merlin engine would be cool. Might be a bit on the heavy side but it would sound like it was raising hell :-D

Yeehaa - I would happily sit on my porch chewin baccy and cradling a shotgun all day - to have one of these monsters in my garage.

Would make you feel like Arnie/ Judge Dredd turning up to a meet on one of the Fighter models

Am I weird? The Hellcat model is like Automotive Porn to me... :p

Fighter is cool :)
Needs to be jacked up more at back with rearsets though.

Maybe some nice artwork would suit something like that too,

I like the chassis engineering, but when will they start putting real engines in them?

I think the list is flawed, I dont see the Kawasaki Versys '09 model in all black with panniers and topbox anywhere in there.

Not worked on any S+S stuff myself (and have managed to avoid h*rl*ys too) are they same or what?

What they need is one with a GSXR1100 lump in the middle :smt003... like a bimota but more like a rottweiler than a greyhound (or a poodle :P)

According to a mate who is into his Yank built piles of sh1te, S+S motors are basically Hardleys with the burrs taken off the edges of all the components. He reckons if you open up a Hardley lump and an S+S lump side by side it looks like everything in the Hardley engine was measured with a stick then hand cut with a blunt hacksaw compared to the S+S, but the performance advantage doesn't outweigh the extra cost of the S+S engine.

If you're going to have a brutal looking chassis then you need a brutal looking engine with a reputation to go in it - I vote TL1000, Ducati 1198 or V-Max
