:shock: That thing looks absolutely terrifying.
Seriously, the tail shot, it looks evil.

A mate of mine, used to driving his CBR600 for years, got onto a Hardly Movingson, or HD replica thing, careered off up the road, braked "as normal" for a corner, and tried to lean in in much the same way as he was used to. And, the bike promptly entered into some class of epileptic fit, forks all bottomed out, all over the shop. He didnt bin it. Just. I think he might have turned around and given it straight back though.

I wonder if you get managed to get used driving this yoke, would you just be ruined for basically all other bikes? Would everything just feel like a Harley compared to this yoke?

I wonder if one could fit a SV engine in that! It might make it a tad more reliable! :lol:

I agree - superb machine, it looks stunning.

Chazzy and Greg...On my all time wish list would be something like a Vincent Black Shadow and so I can appreciate anyone's liking of such machinery.

However as I am under 70 years of age given the choice of the GP6,M1 Yamaha or GP Ninja or your Egit wotsit,I know for sure what I would go for!

Perhaps pottering along leafy country lanes on an ultra retro copy is more for some than others. I guess it's what keeps life interesting!

Or just maybe that is the funniest bit of trolling I have seen in a long time! :wink: :P

That Duke would need a topbox and saddlebags on it if I was to consider it for a winter hack.
Anyway I called them and told them I'd buy it if they threw in a tank of fuel and some waterproofs.And would they take my GT550 in PX? :roll:

B.B.......Your one tough cookie to deal with! :shock: :P
