Like the old hot rodder's quote- "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?"

Different strokes for different folks.

I don't care how fast it is, it still looks like a rolling caricature of a motorcycle to me.

Still shaft drive. The original is what scared me off of that drive system. Straight line very fast, bendy and twisty not so much. No balance on bike Danielson, no balance in life. Seek bike that like corners.

Price is relative.

It is priced like a low to mid-level Harley Big Twin, and puts down nearly THREE TIMES the power of a Big Twin with great brakes and good handling.

Everything is top shelf. Looks like you do get what you pay for.

There's a guy up in North Georgia that filmed us at a couple of March Badness' that not only was able to follow behind us while filming, he was also able to pass most of us.
A real "it ain't the arrow" moment.

A Yukon Denali puts down more power than a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.
Which is more desirable?
Do you really want to feel like an animee character in a Japanese cartoon?

Tim is his name, he totaled the V max and picked up a Husky Motard!! He could flat out rail the V max and make mere mortals on sportbikes cry....
