Re: harley powered sports bike

I think it's a scammer looking for investors...those are CGI images of a concept, they don't even seem to have a working product yet (or even a particularly well put together website)...

I'm skeptical. Pretty heavy motor with the cooling system and all.

There's always this:

Re: harley powered sports bike

Gonna be expensive to crush a specialty radiator every time it gets dropped...and it's not going to be very nice for the rider to have hot air dumped into the slipstream just ahead of his legs...I assume the flow comes in under the front fairing and exits from inside through them....you couldn't pull any positive pressure through them angled to the side like that otherwise.

I can't see it being anything more than an oddball....toy for rich people who want something different...

Re: harley powered sports bike

For about $6K less you could just get a Buell XBRR

Re: harley powered sports bike

i don't think you can actually buy an XBRR, that's their race bike. you can get an xb12R firebolt or lightning but i'd advise against it. my buddy's got the firebolt and he's looking to sell it and get a 636. having ridden it, i wasn't impressed, especially for the $13K price tag it carries.

If you have $33K, you can buy an RR...they are built to order.
