I don't know what on the bike is French?? But that is pretty bad ***...

If only the Buell bikes looked as cool.

Obviously this bike is not going to attract a lot of cruiser riders, but for someone like me (an Ex-Sportbike rider) it's killer...

Yeah the tank looks scared of the engine too...

I like it..good find.

No front down tube. Hmm? Guess the back bone is super strong? I would love to ride that bike on the dragon. JimmyZ

So what's the point? To take a sportbike frame and put an underpowered and wrong powerband115HP engine in it???

WTF?

For 6-7K grand, you can buy a 600cc sportsbike that'll outhandle and outpoweranother piece ofcrap designed by the fukking french. (nevermind buying anything in the 1000cc range)

Looks as good as their last creation... the Citreon.

Exactly....It's not much more than a redesigned Buell.

Yup, and I'd like to see anyone take an HD motor and keep it bouncing off the rev limiter at 14-17K rpms for any length of time.

If it did survive (and it won't) it wouldn't do it repeatedly or for any length of time.

Sorry, love my HD but gotta be realistic.


And to make matters worse, I'll bet that bike is 40K or up.

Well, I guess it isn't for everyone..but i'd rather ride that than any crotch rocket on the market right now. I like the styling on this a lot better. I wish Buell would build bikes like this...
