This is pretty cool I reckon: I like these standard style bikes, and this is a really good looking one. I think we get the same motor in the VT750 (which I have ridden and had a surprisingly good time on) but this is chain drive:

Competition for things like Triumph Bonnevilles, HD Sportsters and other standards.
I reckon its pretty cool.
Not that we see it here.
Started by looking at this thread on the kneeslider which is about custom ones done by Cobra's Denny Berg.

they are MSRP in the US of $7700, but their economy is in the toilet: there is one on ebay for $6800 brand spankers and cash would talk. That would be a coooool bike for ten grand. OK, even $12. Of course by the time Blue Wing bring it in, when they realise they have nothing in their range at present to compete with the basic standards offered by other manufacturers (in 2014) they will try and sell them for $22000, they will sit there for three years unsold, then they will quit them at $15k.
If I was spending money on a bike out of the US, that is one I would consider, the other is the last of the VFR800's with the red/white/blue paintscheme, and the other is a Ryca CS1.
