    This looks cool. I'm sure it'll be way too expensive, but it sounds like a cool bike, more my styles, pegs under my butt and leaning toward the bars. The steering rake "steepened" at 30 degrees? That's sorta comical, but I'd have to ride it to see how quick the steering is before I scoff at that. The C of G looks pretty low. Certainly has enough motor. I was just reading with interest about the possibility this thing might have some decent handling. Sounds cool, anyhow. At least there's an option to forward controls on the V Rod, now. I can't handle forward controls. When I'm riding hard, I'm in the habit of sliding around on the seat to get my weight inside the bike. I can't move around on the seat smoothly with my feet out in front of me Honda Helix style. I'd like to test ride this thing.

    Yep, sure looks pretty. I wish I could afford a now toy like that; but then, Johnny-Law would probably pull my license for good.

    Nice looking bike, but it probably costs more than the $16k sticker of the std VRod.

    Probably every time Willie G touched it the price went up another grand.
