Maybe it's the orientation of the exhaust pipes? Location of the radiators? Shape of the mirrors? Rider staring intently at his gauge cluster and wondering, "Perché ci sono solo 12,1 volt?"?

:-)

Kinda seems like the Italians figured, "hey if they're gonna stop making CR's in Wisconsin, maybe we should do one of our own..."

Actually, it's supposed to go after the V-Max in terms of positioning, but there sure are a lot of familiar cues here (if you leave out the fat 240 rear tire).

Looks like they forgot half the swingarm again...lol

But yeah, something there definitely looks...familiar.

Hey now. That's an interesting looking Duc.

How about that chinfoil...hmmm. Everything except the ridiculous cans looks very Mad Max. I like it.

Looks like it's got the stator fix wired on the side of it. LoL

Kinda neat, probably $20K+ or something. I do love the single sided swingarms, just very surreal.

Notice how the chin fairing has a vented appearance - maybe an oil cooler in behind a protective covering?

Exhaust reminded me of the V-rod, mirrors reminded me of the Aprilia's, can't really tell if there is 2 radiators??

Damn POS charging system!

And then he's like "Is there a semi truck transmission under this thing?""It clunks, and bangs, misses gears, sometime needs double clutching, feels like its gonna implode"

haha

Duphuckincati - I've embedded one image of the bike in your link for easy viewing in this thread:

Frankly, that one just looks like one of the dozens of rat-bike streetfighters we have running around in FL. Reminds me of stunt bikes without the crash bars. I DESPISE stunters.

That duc looks a lot more like a xr1200 than a Cr.

I thought it was a V-Max at first glance.

There is a look of puzzlement on the rider in the photo.

HDB started and HD stopped the V-twin sport bike technology race. Erik Buell Racing is carrying on regardless.

Why wouldn't any maker try and fill the gaps left by the departure of Buell?
