They called and said it is in and should be on the floor tomorrow, March 1. Gotta go see it in all its glory.

My wife and I went out to take a look see at it and it is quite the bike. Sat on it and the seat, though not very thick is quite comfortable. The overall engineering is top notch all around. The rear wheel is a pretty open design and I likee. The clutch squeeze is very stiff and you'd have a very strong hand with this clutch. Very nice metallic graphite paint with a EBR/flag decal on rear panel. Foot pegs all around machined and knurled and so were the foot brake toe knob and the shifter knob. The front brake ram air is is a nice touch to a very well appointed bike.
The setup guy took the bike for a ride and told the guy I talked to that it was a better handling bike than the KTM 1190 race bike they sell. I sure hope they get that AX built because I'll be in the market for something new when it comes out.

Stopped in yesterday to check out the bike and I was really impressed with the fit & finish, great looking bike. That extra exaust muffler does not look as bad in person as it does in the photos.

If the "setup guy" actually rode it hard enough to tell it handled better than the KTM, I would think the intended owner would not be too happy!
Glad to see they are starting to get out.

Arcticktm,
To be perfectly honest, it was a salesman that told me the setup guy thing. Salesman are notorious BS artists so I let his comment go in one ear and out the other but remembered it.
The only negative about the bike would be the casting roughness in the piece that surrounded the axle across the middle of the rear wheel. It was unevenly rough and slaggy feeling. I'd like to see someone check another bike for this flaw and report what they find.

All of the wheels of that type are like you describe. When I was at Daytona I checked out several of them and they all looked like whoever made the forging / casting dies used a hammer or ax to build it.

I saw one at Seminole HD in Sanford, FL this AM. Nice bike...it was a deep bronze-like color. They also had one of the new 500cc "Harley's" on the floor.
Actually looked at lot better than I thought it would.
