Pretty friggin cool - lots of eye candy and go-fast goodies. Nicely done.
I wonder what this will go for in race trim, sans 'expensive catalysts', second can, and street-legal gizmos....hmmm? |

Hard to see from the pictures, but it LOOKS like there are clamps of some sort on the joint between the under-engine muffler and the pipes leading to the secondary silencer. Maybe this will lend to easy removal?
Overall, VERY nice work...good job Erik and all the elves who are no longer with the operation. This was clearly underway for a very long time, and I'm astonished (and ecstatic) that this exists given the patents and IP with HD. I surely cannot afford a $40k+ bike, but if/when a more reasonably priced mass-produced bike exists... |

Not to worry . . . it'll be a little rich for almost anyone who is not a professional racer.
But . . when you are a company who builds RACE motorcycles and you may only race your PRODUCTION motorcycle . . . it'd better be a damn good one.
This is.
What follows are the benefits that accrue as a result of the visibility and success in racing.
Vendors, some of the same American companies who literally hung up on Erik lasts year, interest begins to rise.
Sponsor, the lifeblood of racing, interest begin to rise.
Consumer interest begins to rise.
Rising consumer interest yields demand which justifies the design, production of and distribution of the very motorcycles you and I can afford and want to ride.
Some very interesting things are already occurring as a result of just the first 18 hours of this bike being unveiled.
This could be a game changer.

I suppose I should be switching to Ams-Oil!
The nature of great engineers is based on a bit of obsessive compulsive behavior. This second generation rotaxB is a great leap forward in every way.
When engineers apply their passion without constraint you see products like Porsche, Ferrari, Ducati, Shelby, Buell.
>>>This could be a game changer.
I sure hope so! |
