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...
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 ... 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
