I think it's kinda cool to have a vision and then build it.  HOWEVER, riding that vision, well, watch and see!  Shocked   Cheesy

That was cool!!!!
Seems like a lot of trouble to do what Honda has already done. Shocked
But I guess that's one way to retain all that heritage, mystique, & legend that we keep hearing sooo much about  Roll Eyes & actually have an enjoyable bike to ride.
How 'bout the sound of that thing? Sound familiar?? Grin Grin

I am interested, Maybe a project I can get my father-In-Law involved with since he is retired and a vary handy guy. and loves the flat motors.

He actually purchased the 3rd 1975 GL1000 sold from San Jose Honda, and rode it long enough to wear out one engine and one transmission and then put another 45k on the rebuild, he swears that was the best bike he ever owned and he owned 10 plus bikes over his riding life.

Love the sound of it, but he should have named it something more fun like "CHEVY DAVIDSON" or maybe "Cheverly Corvairson".

Sure is cool looking... he doesn't have any place to put his feet though, his legs look real cramped... kind of like us, but
worse  Wink

Wow. The driver of the McLean needs steel plated shoes because he was constantly dragging his feet at low speeds. If they could make that work it would be cool.
My first thought: they built a trailer for it before they made sure it would work?
My last thought: I hope that guy is okay.

I know why I like the look of the impractical round motorcycle.
