Dude, its a supercharged V Rod. Probably pushing 200 to 250 HP. The tires gonna spin.

I don't know anything bout the V Rods other than the seating position looks like discomfort.

The bike in the clip reminds me of a TRON light cycle.

It reminds me of the Batcycle without the guns.

Look at the tires and notice how much effort it seems to take to keep the bike in it's line. Turn on your speakers, you're going to want to hear this thing roaring.

I spoke with them a year ago. Was considering building a V-rod with a 300 rear and a 200 front tire. They sell everything to do it but the problem is the front end is 5000 euros just for the forks and trees. Never priced the twin front lights and on and on.....
