If I can't get one in FDE, I don't want one.
Either way, I'll wait for a the cheaper MOE model  |

It takes passion to create something like that.
This thing has some of the best design details I've seen in a long time. The tail light and marker lights are very cool. Just a great all around piece of design and engineering. Not to mention it placed well at Pikes Peak |

Buell XBs have been consistently the best handling bikes I've ridden. If this front end is an improvement over the already excellent XB front end, then this bike is going to handle like it's on rails. Also, the belt drive is much more forgiving of engine power changes in mid-turn than a traditional chain.

Meh. I will wait for Jesse James to come out with his version. No testing done, but his will probably get 200 miles per gallon, go mach 2 and still be 200 decibels quieter than any other bike.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've always been a fan of that bike, but I don't see $38k worth of bike there. Part of the cost is the true limited production of the bike. It's a true custom and only 47 will ever be sold. And many of the parts are made by hand or on manual mills. It's a slow, costly process. This isn't a cookie cutter production bike, it's a labor of love by a few hardcore enthusiasts. If you're not into that stuff, you'd be better off with a production bike. |

I can appreciate the design details and it is interesting looking, but it is in reality nothing more than an exercise in form over function.
I'd love to see one and look it over, but it's not for me. |

There's an economy of scale that this production outfit simply doesn't have. $38k is roughly what the EB Racing bikes were selling for, and EB had a big leg up on Magpul, having worked numerous production issues while still under the financial wings of HD. When you hand build bikes, they are going to carry a hand built price tag. There's just no other way around it. |

Form over function ... said no one about a Buell based design ... ever. That whole front end stems from an effort to improve the responsiveness over the conventional inverted forks ... and every other aspect of the bike simply carries over from the XB design. |
