Looks quite tasty despite that though... I like the side panels.

There was much talk last year of a high-spec American bike with a comet lump in too, the first was to be NA but with a supercharged version afterwards- don't know if it ever saw day. There was much talk of it being a "True American bike" on the website- engineering by a brit, design by a Frenchman, engine by the koreans but copied from the japanese... Perhaps the brake lever was American
