thanks, Aaron. I forgot about the Victory/KTM relationship, but still dig the new Victory motor.

I think Yamaha missed on the execution of a great idea with their MT-01. The bike is “weigh” too heavy and phyiscal size too large.

I read they shoe-horned the engine into a R1 chassis during development. The final result should have been somewhere in between the R1 experiment and what is now called the MT-01.

for the swallower there is a cool site at http://www.guzzi.daytona-it.com/ hit the “swallower” button on the left side.

for doug… if you wanted a big inch cafe, see yamaha’s mt-01. if yamaha doesn’t think it will sell on these shores, polaris may not take that gamble. if victory really wants to destroy buell they could (and will, i suspect) use ktm’s v twin. not quite “all american”, but the v-rod has more of the U.K. and germany in it than some will admit.

Lutz rides a Harley? What’s he drive – an F-150?
