That would be considered a custom build. Check insurance pricing before buying. Did you ride it?

RevTech = made in Korea CRAP. Pass on it! I have seen so many of those motors blow it's ridiculous. The is a local bike builder that uses those motors and he has blown a customers motor during a test ride. CRAP CRAP CRAP. Find a Harley with a Harley motor or at least an S&S or something made here in the US.

"Special Construction" bikes are normally insured under custom motorcycles instead of a stock "off the line" bike.

I've heard of issues with the new S&S motors. Not built as well as the older units.

Indeed that does make a difference, IMO it's worth even less! I hope you don't take this as a put-down, but you must be a young guy that's super hyped on buying his first bike. You have the vast majority of folks here advising against this bike, but you're not hearing that, are you? It's apparent because you seem to be ignoring all the red flag warnings people are posting. You asked opinions of "people in the know" yet continue to pursue this bike. Guess all we can do from here is wish you the best of luck.

Enjoy!
