This might be the first GDI motorcycle engine made in US, but it’s rather late compare to the rest of the world. In Taiwan, the law enforces that all newly produced motorcycles after 2008 must equip GDI engine.

I just hope thier idea of sport tourer is not the same dirt bike ergronomics that everyone else has went to. I’m curious as to how bulky the 6 gallon fuel tank will be?
I have always said that if some one makes a bike in the USA that performs as well and is as comfortable as my 97 yzf1000 for 16 grand I would buy it right now. Hopefully they give me the chance.

V4 engines have been around for ears guys, find yourself a 1960s Ford V4 from the UK or German cars of that era……much less work to just rebuild one of these…..why buy a “New” V4 ? In the UK there are still plenty of these engines still around today {2010}

Hoyt, I understand the performance benefit of lighter wheels. My question focused more on; “what’s the difference between a shaft drive wheel and and chain drive wheel?” On the wheels I’ve seen the drive splines are bolted or riveted on in the same place a sprocket or sprocket carrier would be bolted on. Some don’t even require cush drives in the hub. I haven’t seen every variation of shaft drive wheel so maybe you have something different.
