I like that A LOT! I could even get past the radiator pretty easily to love that bike. WTH is a Typhon tho? I've lived through a typhoon but a typhon? | ||

I saw this yesterday and am excited too. Although it doesn't fit my style I like what I see and hopefully the buying public will like it too. When they're in mass production. I wouldn't expect Erik to sell very many of the first ones as they'll be too expensive for most buyers. If the production models look as good as this does they should be very popular. There is a thread on the quick board about this. | ||

Typhon is a mythological reference: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/t/typhon.html -John | ||

Thanks. Google, with the highly irritating "instant" setting, kept directing me to typhoon or asking me if I meant typhoon. | ||

I heard that the Japanese were already working on a knock-off - The Tofuon. | ||

Nice article. Shame they put the oil in the swingarm, though. COPYEDIT, folks! (sigh...) More and more I hope they release a retro kit to put that cooling system on a CR....as much as I (really do) like the pods, that system is just awesome. | ||

I took a closer look of that bike and must say it looks pretty nice. Will agree that the radiator would need to be protected or beefed up more like our oil cooler to ever expect to hold up to real street use. 180 ponies isn't anything to laugh about either. That seat would need some serious padding for my sensitive gam. Since Erik Buell Racing had a hand in this thing, then maybe it might become available. Maybe Erik Buell Racing is using them as an outside design firm. Who knows what kind of contract might have been signed between the Erik Buell Racing and this german outfit. | ||

EG, The secrete Buell/German collaboration is finally coming light. What other parts and projects were being developed?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBgc-LlIcLM | ||

Whisper, That Hitler rant was unbelievably hilarious. Thanks to seemonster77 whoever you are. That part where the fraulein wimpered and someone consoled her with "her boy can still get a Triumph" was just inspired. |
