Default V-Twin based "crotch rocket?"
Anyone seen this?

http://www.bkrider.com/bkrider/skuse...010004&parent=

aside from the RevTech arguments, seems to be made up of quality components...?

Obviously buell, but are there other bikes like this? I've never seen a kit bike like this before. Interesting

The V-bike kit is one of the better ones. There is a local guy that built one in north county. He put a big engine in it and lots of finish work. He is on one of the other forums.

No I haven't even seen it in person. The guy posted the whole build on another forum. It took him many months to build and he did it right. I will see if I can find a link to it. I have been looking for it on the road.

yeah...seems a ground-up build would take a while. Would love to have the know-how to do something like that.

I guess I meant American-design v-twin engine, "Harley"

Buell is the only production bike, right?

Just thought this "V" looked pretty cool
