They say the v-rod motor weighs 193 while the XB motor weighs 185.

What they don't say is that # is minus water, hoses and radiators.

Interesting none the less.

I was surprised at how rudimentary his operation is. It looks like a 1 man show. I respect what
He has done to this point knowing that. I was under the impression there was more to Roehr than
just one man.

Does he do his own fab work? Is he building his bikes? or having them built for him?

Best I can tell from the article and some other stuff is that he does his own fab stuff and he does have a few people with him...just financially its only him.

I believe they are trying to get three bikes ready to go from the indy show in February.

Interesting price tag for 23,000....

By the time it comes out i'll have the new job and the expendable income..hmmm.

I might be weird but i'm interested.

Uh, I thought that was an odd comment until I saw the photo. I still can't stop laughing!

I was under the same impression, there exists a company with people working hard at it. One man, and in full time employment elsewhere, sheds a different light on the project.

This bike has been talked up so much. And who is this 'we' that he keeps referring to?

Still, I wish him / them (lol) lots of luck, but that pig of a Porsche engine. Not sure it's physically just too big when plumbed in.
