I just worked on one the other day. I`m not familiar with the model names but it was a 240 tire, looked like Dago`s bike. They have the SE 103 motors in them and go ok, could be faster. I did`nt like the way it handled though. even going straight it wants to lean to the left because the drivetrain is offset to the left to keep it left side drive. Other than that it handled better than I thought it would, never riden a chopper style bike before so it was a first for me.I think the sticker was around $35k for the ones we had/have. They are not selling to go from what I understand.

One of my riding buddies has one and as far as I know he hasn't ever had any problems with it however, we ride twisties often and he states it doesn't handle well in turns. I have no idea which one it is. It does have a long rake and jumbo tire which is common for those variables.
