Believe it when you see it in a dealership.
I want that motor on a cruiser. I'm afraid they might have strayed too far in the sport bike direction with the chain drive and all.
Gimme 150 horses, a six speed, saddle bags, and a wide seat. I'll be happy.

What a waste of engineering talent. They really had to work hard to design something that backward and ugly. Chain drive?? Give me a break.
