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? |

The V-Rex is 120hp 74 ftlbs. Can't seem to view the specs on the VR-2!? |

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

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. http://www.lazareth.org/tuning-moto.htm My fav is the DOKUJYA single side swingarm and front fork!! |

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.
