It's one of the biggest drawbacks of the big twin motor. "Cop bike" is about as aggressive a position as you can create, unless you want to spend 10k on a transmission with the output shaft on the right side of the bike. Harley....well, let's see if the albatross of their financing arm drags them under or not. The foot controls can’t go any further back because your foot will foul the clutch.

I'd enjoy a ride on it. But then again... I ride a Buell, you know, the production motorcycle for around 10k that would attract twenty somethings to the Harley brand. Even though I'm 46.

If they were selling it, then it'd have their own company's name on it. JR, I don’t think they’re selling it, just showing off something spiffy they did.

I would think Harley would kick up a fuss. I was just wondering how these guys get away with having the Harley name on the tank. I would think Harley would kick up a fuss.

Sure I own to old Classic Triumph Bonniville and others but this bike would be a real hoot. I still would rather have seen a 124 Sportster engine but the fact is the bike is really neat.
