Bigdaddy and tom_b: Thanks, gents. I'm fond of it. But that black and red one that HBJ posted is just too fine...

Very expensive and I still want one. Learned how to ride one handed on British twins while shaking the sleep out of other hand. Wonder if they will ever have a smooth RPM range somewhere like my M2 so I can ride two handed most of the time. As a matter of fact I wish I new Jay Leno personally with testing opportunities occasionally.

anyone remember the Norton Nemisis that was coming out a few years back ?

It never made it into production though two examples were built and sold into private collections in California.

Old English bikes are very cool. I always kicked myself for not buying up a few more in the early 80's when I was in europe and they were dirt cheap.

And only $17,000.00. A right bargain. Phnarr.

Dry weight: 415lbs

I thought it would have been much heavier that the 415 lbs they indicate after sitting on it. It felt like an absolute pig.

it felt like it carried it's weight a bit on the high side to me when I sat on it (likely more so compared to an XB, I ride a tuber) but not particularly heavy --

interesting, for sure, but, for me, more of an intelectual excersize -- I'd LOVE one of those scoots, but it's a bit outa reach for me -- I'm sure it's worth every penny, though
