Caught a TV spot awhile ago,it sure looks like a great machine.You could build a bike with that size motor for a lot less money.My 155" RK set me back $22K and one winter to build.

Mine is the Street version,little lower compression and streetable camshaft.Approx 175 hp, over 180 lb ft tq.It is beyond description what it is like to ride,it has the capacity to scare the living daylights out of me.But after a lot of years of searching and building Hot Rod Harleys,I finally foundthe one I want to keep.The bike is pictured in the Touring section.Dog

If you don't want one don't try one out.The torque is absolutely incredible andvery addicting.Starting the second year with mine with motor dailed in and enough miles on the clock to not have to hold back.It is a whole new experience learning how to ride with that much power on tap.Dog
