I always want this design to succeed:

It looks like the new owner will try to put the bike in production in the next few months. I'd certainly like to see it happen:

This time it might well do, the guy leading it seems to have it well put together.

It certainly looks cool enough, retro with a modern take, but, the engine :oops: is taking things a bit too far. Push rods for gawds sake, in 2009.
Will it also come with an authentic oil leak :wink:

it puts out more power (and looks cooler) than my 2008 bonneville, and looks way better than the Duc or Guzzi classics. For that, I'm happy to take pushrods. The Buell XB still uses pushrods, and is no slouch.
