Hurakān: An Italian Cafe Racer

FMW Motorcycles in Italy created this beauty and appropriately named it after a Mayan god.

Not a Harley. Off topic.

I think it's gorgeous, personally. I'd pay $8-9K for it.

I like it. I wouldn't buy one, but I like it. I also wouldn't ride it, but I like it.

I think it looks cool----AND UN-comfortable.

The "Boyz" would not allow me to ride but a few minutes.

It looks cool, but wildly impractical at any speed below 90. My wrists and shoulders hurt just looking at it.

The starting point for the construction was a 1968 Harley Davidson shovel frame, but of course it has been drastically altered in the cradle and the rear frame to be able to hold an S&S super stock engine.
The combination of Harley Davidson and MV Agusta components was specifically chosen to celebrate the past acquisition of the Italian brand by the giant of Milwaukee
the wheels were assembled with Harley Davidson’s hubs, steel spokes and Morad rims
