Keanu's new bike/business

[Sierra1]

2 Litres and 122lb ft . . . . for $128,000usd. It has some trick parts, but that price is still pretty steep.

WHY ?????

If you have to ask...

 

[pooh and xtine]

WHY ?????

Because they can! Back in the last century when I lived close to TTS at Silverstone, Richard dyno tuned my Honda Transalp, of all things (Dynojet kit, air filter, Laser exhaust) - no bike since has ever had such superb throttle response. It could all be nostalgic false memory, of course!

$128,000 for an old Harley motor, so strange!

Think id like the Busa meself . . . .

Of these two, definitely. Almost a reasonable price considering the performance.

WHY ?????

So you don't have to put up with old age . . . . 'cuz you'll never live that long.

I don't think it's an "old" H-D motor, but yeah, that price tag.

I think it's a reproduction HD twin cam.

Oh, I get it. You're talking about it being an Evolution v. Revolution motor. Yeah, you're right.

For that money I could build a garage and fill it with cool bikes. I don't hate it though.

 

[audiowize]

I'd like it more with a turbo and a 131 on it, but that would probably be harmful to the potential owners.

It kind of looks a lot like the Confederate bikes I used to see back several years ago. It has a S&S stamp on the left of the block so it is very similar to a Harley engine. I like all motorcycles but the ones that would not be something I could or would want to ride everyday really do me no good. I will pass.

That's where I'm at. Bikes for each type of riding I plan on that day. Which is why I have ONE Tenere. Covers all of the bases and is fairly unique since I never see one in the wild, and nobody knows what it is.

Not sure if I hate the bike or not. I hate the price, and I hate that who makes it determines the stupid price . . . . but I don't think I hate the bike itself.

 

[Tenman]

I wonder about parts availability and price too

 

[Sierra1]

On the other hand, the people that can afford the entry fee can likely afford to pay for the play. But I doubt the average buy won't even wear out the tires.
