Linkage forks...has anyone ever built a bike with linkage forks that out-perform a good pair of conventional forks?
That rad in front of the rider will throw an insane amount of heat on the rider on a hot day. They had to do that, because there have been issues with the fuel in frame designs that were seeing the gas boil due to the engine heat.
Overall, the design is cool and the detail design is really nice and complete. This is what Buell should have been aiming for. The $38K is for exclusivity, but way too much money for a modded 1125 surplus from the Buell shut-down.
The 47 Ronins naming is a huge gimmick, but the current motorcycle custom culture is stuck on gimmicks at this point. Even at $38K, this gun manufacturer can't be making any real money on this.
