Too bad it's not water cooled........looks good though........rear cylinder is gonna get hotter.....new epa mandates are going to put air cooled bikes in the dust......look how much bigger the new Harley's fins have gotten...still won't cut it.....

I like it...a lot. But I gotta say, those Honda CBs are pretty damn hot, too.
I hope all of those prototypes signal a return of standard motorcycles.
Enough with the crotch rockets and cruisers already!

I hate to say I don't think standard bikes will make any big return unless something drastic happens. we will get the one off cool bikes that last 2 years of production kawasaki w650 or the honda gb500.
kids want speed and old guys want couches on wheels.

| That's good news for me, I need the business. Rebuilding these old standards is what I live for! I don't need production bikes wiggling their way into my market share.

| It just wouldn’t feel the same without a kickstart. I’d hate to push a nice looking bike like that out into the driveway just to push a button.

....at 135 dollars a barrel oil......In my wildest imagination we will be putting 250 kits in them to detune and meet the 100 mpg mandated requirements for motorcycles.....yes they will still be way too lean......but that ain't going away....ask Harley.......
At 200 dollars a barrel.......necessary paperwork will be shown that these are for comercial purposes...
At 300 dollars a barrel...joy riding will be a felony.....
A 400 dollars a barrel.......not to worry you will be shot by a neighbor for any gas you may have hidden........
