Who's buying one?

Is it a good track bike?
LOL

 

I would guess that nobody is buying one. The good news is that the bike needs only $10K worth of nice aftermarket hardware to handle like a bone stock Concours 14, the bad news is that the stuff is already on the bike and included in the msrp. Good luck to them, don't wish them failure by any means, just unsure of their aproach.

 

The engine was developed with more than a few ST1300 parts

 

Saw this one at the Barber vintage fest, cool looking bike

 

I'd ride one.

 

I met the guys at a gas station in Birmingham and they were happy to talk, and the motor sounds insane. Best of luck to them.

 

Like what?

 

Is that where they got the push rods from?

 

Various valve train and crank parts.. bearings, journals,things like that. I'd have to pull invoices but I'm pretty sure they ordered some bigger components as well, perhaps to uses as an engineering bench mark.

 

I couldnt justify the price but would love to ride one for sure, 180hp and 120tq would have to be fun.

 

I can get past the looks. I can get past the questionable reliability and support. I can (almost) justify the price.
Add those 3 things together....no freaking way.
