Yes, that'll do.
That's pretty crazy. That's not too far off a high performance motorcycle power to weight ratio. |

That is bad, bad ass. He doesn't say, but I wonder if he was planning on making more? Otherwise, there went a few hundred 1000 to be the newest Springer.

Looking at the details and effort that went into it, I get the feeling that it might be cheaper to buy an original 550 or 904...
OK, maybe not today, but perhaps 10 years ago. Nice though.

^^ There it is!! ^^
I think they plan to sell a few Remember, a 550 just sold for $3.7MM at Gooding this year I can't see how this would even be one tenth of that

Great concept but I'm not sure I've ever seen 270 out of a flat 4 that wasn't a turbo. Amazing if it does.
