    They had a display at Daytona bikes are top quality
    way above the crap clones made in the past

    Billet parts
    very nice paint, looks like 1940's laquer finish but nice
    bags and seats are hand made by a local saddlemaker and come off with a quick twist system to reveal a very nice rear fender

    Full electronic computer you can see RPM miles, trip, next service and diagnostics with the flip of a switch on the right hand controls so you don't even have to take a hand off the controls to check stuff.

    Bars controls, levers, mirrors front forks, cow bells (sliders) etc all chrome, billet floorboards and chrome mounts.

    Monoshock under seat that you can adjust with a spanner for pre-load on two up or loaded travel.

    Rear backrest is fully detachable and included. 6 speed new 105 powerplus motor.

    ALso a cool trick the guys showed me, you pull off the end cap, pull out the stuffing on the pipe and it goes from Pewloski Ca Controlled quiet to pro pipe rumble, no need to buy a new exhaust.

    but at $35K for the top of the line it's not cheap, they only make 700 this year and keep production low price high.

    The scout will be out in a year as will a bagger version..

    Interesting to see the indian bagger.
