I'd also like to see BTR use the Victory engine with the S&S hop-up kit. 107 ft/lbs of a flat torque curve (except for a slight dip before 2000 rpm). http://www.sscycle.com/victory/Victory.pdf The Victory engine also seems to have a more compact primary since it is gear-driven. The Victory sounds great too.....if I can only convince my brother to donate his Vegas. Steve – it would be great to see the X-Wedge in their bike.

The head light sits optically too high and the open headstock creates a strange openness. Work on the looks and it will sell a lot more. For 16.500 dollars I would expect something more refined design wise... Interesting bike but the aesthetics could be a little better; the seat looks too massive compared to the rest.

Seems to me this has already been done by somebody we've all heard of.. a guy named Eric Buell. Kneeslider wrote:
