I like the way it looks from the front. Kinda reminds me of an old cartoon. I think it was called Speed Buggy or something like that. |

I wonder if Roehr's decision to use the Revolution motor was in part due to the backlash Fischer recieved after using the Hyosung motor? |

They are grabbing for straws now. They still have the Highland V-Twin listed as the engine on the site, but then in the press release they are talking about the Revo! This bike was supposed to be released already, and now an engine change? I bet they never make a single bike. I'm pretty sure that the people that run HD are smart enought to not create competition for Buell in an already small market by allowing another manufacturer to use their powerplants. |

Not sure why the world needs another sport bike. But that is just me. |

Do you really see this as being competition? I do not, it will be a small volume seller (if it ever ships), and will have zero dealer network (dont mention the problems with Buell's dealer network), and the price will be far too much to be competition. |

Could it / would it then lend credability to Buell if it did come out? I rather appreciate seeing and reading threads [elsewhere] that are talking down "that American sportbike" and not be talking about a Buell... |

"Puffer fish maybe?" Ha ha ha, I was thinking the same thing. "I'm pretty sure that the people that run HD are smart enought to not create competition for Buell in an already small market by allowing another manufacturer to use their powerplants." I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that Harley fully intended on supplying Revo engines to small manufacturers. (Message edited by eboos on September 07, 2006) |

The bike on their website is their old one the RV1000. The Revo engine bike is not on their website yet.That is what I understood when I searched their website. |

so is the bike supposed to replace the existing RV1000? or be a new model in addition to? if they're making such a drastic change at the last minute, that doesn't sound good...if it's in addition i guess it's not as bad....maybe a little ambitious since they still haven't produced the first |
