Hmmm a tad weighty. Nothing wrong with the concept would assume by just looking at the design that she handled the weight and power quite well.
By the looks alone its exactly what the early Duke bevels and modern Harley's should or could have been.
If I know the Japs it will be an improvement on a Buell.

At 30k I will keep my eyes out for a pre-loved one.
Very nice.

I don't see the harley boys riding one of those... not abnoxious enough with the silent hair dryer motor. That won't scare small children and animals or be echoing around the neighborhood from 3k away at 4 in the morning or make much of an impact whooshing into the pub carpark....

Well I spy sports mono shock, USD forks and Brembo brakes just point it in the right direction and go (not to sure how far though) just add a tape recording of something abnoxious to keep the harley purists, cough twats happy.

The Yammies way cool though.

Plus they’ll hardly get from one pub to the next before the battery goes flat. (Depending on how far apart the pubs are - your result may differ)

Wow Harley technology just took a leap forward 100 years technology wise and missed all the good stuff like OHC, turbos, high compression etc in the middle.
