I don't like the styling personally, everything looks too high or maybe it's that the bike is too short. No doubt 180bhp will be quick, but as mentioned... the Japs have been making that kind of power N/A for a while now and the bike's are lighter than this one too!

No, no, no.

H*rley driveable engines are NOT industrial in the slightest.
The term you are looking for is AGRICULTURAL.

So they've got a bike with all the disadvantages of a h*rley. and you could still beat it with a £1000 GSXR1100M. Same power naturally aspirated, that won't rattle your face off. Without the problems of a very expensive blower.

That isn't stripped down.

Here's a proper V twin custom for you:

Beauty at it's finest.

See, there are some British firms who build custom bikes set up so their spec is more like a WSB paddock rather than some gash american trophy cabinet or on the back of a trailer. Then again, I suppose their bikes need to be gash to outshine all the sports jackets and whitened teeth.

See it in streetfighters pretty much every month, a good hypersports bike RUINED by some septic with too much cash and a chrome fetish.

I quite like this. It looks dated, to me, and a bit clunky, a bit like a prototype 916 before they added the pretty, obviously with a big dash of MV Augusta in it too... but it's OK. The numbers on the engine are decent, it's too heavy though but I can forgive it. Should be an interesting ride. Can't see much in it to get excited about mind, except for the price :mrgreen:

I like the way they gloss over the real development of the LC Harley engine... The project was started for Buell, but as it developed it got bigger and heavier and more cruisery til Buell decided he didn't want to use it, and so it became purely the Vrod engine. So now these guys are building a sportsbike with Buell's rejects :rolleyes:

You never know, give them 20 years and they might build an engine to match the jap stuff......


....from the 80's.
