680 pounds running weight, 70hp, 79 inch wheelbase and 32 degree lean angle - you might as well saddle a cow.

Come on Schwiiing... A cow at full chat gets a little more than 32 degrees and I think they have a shorter wheelbase : ).

Just 70 HP from a Revolution engine? : ? What'd they do, decide to save money and forego the piston rings?

I like the VR2 much more than, say, the V-Rod. But these look like CAD renderings.

Cool.

Where's the water box on the VR2? That little one in the chin faring? Is that going to be enuf cooling for a 120HP revo?

The both look like crap.

Wanna see some sweet bikes? That were built? Lots of sweet/stylish v-twin bikes.

Cows get pretty unstable at aggressive lean angles.

The Dokujya is an almost exact copy of the Honda NAS concept bike from a few years ago.

I'll pass, I already had a stylish cruiser, I hated it. I like corners, I like dragging knees, I like bike that will let me do the things I like.

The bikes on the Lazareth site are pretty interesting. Wonder how the single-sided front 'forks' feel when you're laying it over in a hard curve - any difference from a right hander to a left.

My favorite is the Harley 883 Cafe Racer on the second page.

I bet my cow is faster than the vrex. I just put the race kit on her. I took her down to barber last weekend. Yeah, she is a little under powered and she still gets passed in the straights by all those import cows, but I can pass them in the corners, no bull $h1t.

Yep I love racing my cow. At track days theres nothing like a warm glass of milk after your run.
