I've just bought it. First stop Motomail for some heated grips and saddle bags.

Ride report to follow.

Where is the Vehicle?

$400,000 for a piece of shit yellow Harley..!?!?

Fuck me there are some wankers around.!

I have to agree with vifferman!

I would expect something from Lambo to be a high revving V12 hyper sports bike.

Not even lightly impressed.

HD V-ROD would have to be a better option.

I doubt any self-respecting Italian would even be seen dead on a V-ROD lump of pig iron.

I went for a ride and found it last night. I was impressed with the style - I think it's a nice looking thing and having two wheels in one of those wank factories is a good thing.

But I can't see 400k in it either. Haven't got any specs but I reckon even going full noise S&S the boys downstairs at AMPS would build similar for around 150k.

I dont like it!

I always wondered what my ex wife did with my old farm hack of a bike that she got as part of our separation agreement. It does look a bit different with the mud washed off it!

Geez even $150k is too much considering amps sell 124ci S&S motors for under 15k

Swot I thought when the lady told me it cost US$200K to build. I call bullshit. What'd they do, line everything with gold foil à la McLaren F1 engine bay?

I'll give you a dollar (and, for a bicycle courier, that's a lot of money) if you pop by there with camera and poisoned pen and poniard the bike for next month's issue.

Well yellows kinda the right colour for it..... Cos at 400k it's gold plated pile of poo!

Taking the $400k buying a half doz Augusta's and useing the remainder to hire a track for the day with an open bar to finish sounds a better deal. At least you "might" have a decent bike or two left at the end.
