Wow, a very interesting engine - liquid cooled V4 push rod that makes 161 bhp and spins to 8K RPM.  Very interesting design, and not what one would expect.  Agreed, hope they do well. I also hope they build this in the US.

Very interesting engine sound on the video.

Wow, a V4.  I've always liked the Honda VFR, though in recent years they've made that engine overly complex (for me).

I'm a fan of sport-tourers than lean to the sporty side, and own a BMW R1100S that is similar in focus, except moved by an air-cooled twin that is down 70 hp on this thing! 

I too wish them luck.

Cool looking bike, never saw anyone do a roll on wheelie though.  :?

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

The engine looks to be a 1638cc modded version of the reliable Honda ST1100/1300.
