    US made V-twin

    Standard handlebar, running the good old air cooled V twin. Done less than 20,000 miles. Unsure of year but its the current model, still making this baby in the US of A! Belt drive, 2 into one exhaust which just gives you that potato potato potato at idle, Loud and a little intimidating. It aint fast or high HP but its all about the torque and image, right? One of detroits best on two wheels. Great machine. With a little work this can mostly eat a GSXR1000 and spit it out. Not for biker wannabees.

    on trademe auction number 193276824 $7500 reserve

    Read carefully, youll see its all there! (couldnt resist)

    Eat a GSXR1000 and spit it out? Does it come with a bag of whatever your smoking?

    It appears that the pillion seat wouldnt be too comfortable: have you had any feedback on that issue?

    I can testify to the awesome v-twin sound ...... lol ....
    As can the rest of the neighbourhood.



    Good luck selling it - when does the new one arrive ... I might sacrifice a tree or two for the first shred ....

    Hey its not about speed or carrying the family around (although it could dispatch with a mother in law with ruthless effeciency) , you know when you start it up that its about image, the noise, looking like you do dangerous and tough things and that unique look that only a US made V-twin such as this can give. Sure at 700kgs it dwarfs any harley and is no sportbike but its economical to run and whenever its at full throttle people cant help but watch and be impressed by its capacity.

    And it can spit a golfball like a feckin bullet. Its just beaut.
