They had better start learning who their competition is or they will end up in the same boat again.

Yeah and this isn't exactly the best economy to try to come out with a premium bike but they do have 100 people who've put down payments on bikes already.

The current owners brought back Chris Craft from the dead. So they know what they're doing but they're going to have to ride out this economic downturn to make it. I'd rather have a SE Road King for that kind of money.

"Engine cylinders are Nikasil plated"

NOT a selling point for this boy. Been there, done that, with dirt bikes... hate 'em. For longevity and reusability, give me a steel lined cylinder ANYDAY. Worn steel-lined cylinder? Bore it, new piston/rings and ride for another jillion miles. No can do witha Nikasil treated aluminum cylinder.
