Bit pricey, but 180hp should really fly.

 

Looks great! Sure would be fun to ride!

 

Forty grand?!

 

$40,000 ?? No thanks.

3.8-gallon fuel tank seem kinda silly too.

 

Save some money and buy a Buhl.

 

yeah, $40k could buy a lot of other fun. still good to see someone use the engine in a sportbike. maybe the idea will catch on in a business model that is more favored by the economics of scale.

 

That looks like a copy of a Ducati 999. If your going to go the sportbike route...buy a real Ducati.

 

Oh, that is pretty cool. I wish they would put that motor in other platforms....

I am waiting for it to go into a Garbage Wagon and then I think I might get one.

Hell I would love that motor in my FXDBI. Watercooled mmmmmm

 

Remind me why is this cool? Why do I want a revolution motor in a sportbike at $40G? I can get at least two or three faily cool similar bikes by Triumph, Ducati and BMW for half the price. Why, if it's a Sportbike, does it matter whether is has a Revolution (1/2 HD, 1/2 Porsche) motor or a Ducati motor. It's a sport bike. Like the guy above said - Ducati's are the Harley's of Sport Bikes (BMW the Victory?) - why this unknown expensive hybrid..


I want my cruisers to come from the Moco. I don't necessarily think they're the world leading maker of sport bikes, or even sport bike engines..
