So what are your long term plans.. ?

Are you going to be climbing into the motorcycle market by partnering with a company to make Magpul editions? (seems the best), or doing short runs like this?

Meh, I'll keep mine!



They are a bit down on power compared to the fours and some twins (however I don't need to get the valves adjusted every 7500 miles) but add an aftermarket exhaust' air filter and ECM and they come alive. I'm getting 132 hp at the rear wheel, however compared to my friends Ducati 1098, it makes a TON more torque at all RPM.

They sure can handle too.

So on the next two wheeled project you need a rider to fit the bike, let me know.

I say do something that will go off road, carry some mounted (mountable) lead delivery device, enough bug out gear for an extened outdoor stay, you just let me know.

They're losing money on them at $38k each.  From the youtube description:  
The first 12 bikes released will be in the classic Silver & Black color of the original Magpul concept bike. At $38,000 (USD) each, these bikes will be the most affordable of all the Ronin motorcycles released (and priced below the cost to produce them).

Dude don't waste your keystrokes, ARFCOM, especially GD doesn't understand designing for the sake of design. They'll nit pick shit to death while the concept of doing something simply because it makes you better at your craft sails over their heads.

Keep fighting the good fight, some if us are still paying attention
