Ive seen a couple of them before they are sporty looking bikes. The bagger TM cycle is a softtail from what i remember (i could be wrong) i wonder how well this would really handle then? It may feel balanced but i also wonder how your back and butt would feel after a 400 mile trip riding a softtail 240 tire bike if what i said is true?

Quick! Where's Leohd so he can bash someone for posting a non-harley related topic! One that even indicates it's not HD related in the subject line!

The NERVE of some people, I tell ya!

Maybe the dealers know that after seeing these bikes and the prices on them the other Harleys on the floor will look that much better and maybe not so expensive after all..

heres a link to the manufacturer

Better be pretty nice, to warrant that much of a price difference.

I have a TMCC 240 Blackhawk and its real nice bike. It is 90% Harley with a lot of chrome and a 103 SE. They put out a great bike.Thunder Mountain-jaimie-and-tmcc103.jpg

I just looked at a Keystone today. They do NOT come with a HD warranty. They have a 1 year warranty from TM, not HD. Very nice bike, though! Best of both worlds: unique enough that you won't see copies everywhere you go, yet the reliability of the Harley engine. The one I checked out had the SE103 (many have the 110) with a Baker 6-speed and Heartland seat. It fit like it was designed for me... sitting IN the bike, not ON it! They quoted me $36K before TTL... $40K out the door, but offered to knock off $4-5K to make a deal happen soon. That would put it around $35K, which is about what I'd put into a Softail, with mods. I'd seriously consider one in the future!

I dont think the thunder mtn looks better than my big dog pitbull, I only gave 21 K for my new 07 pitbull & my bike has a S&S 117 more bike for half the money $$ but hen I got a good price

OUCH!! For $43,000, I believe I can have enough work done to my 2007 EGC, have a pretty nice ride and some change left over.
