    i've taken a look at their stuff. i think they have fantastic ability and great imagination and design to go along with it.
    but whoa!! way too expensive. i mean an air cooled, push rod one off for 30 - 40 K??
    i'll spend my large some other way.

    I don't like them. To me the lines of the bike are too busy. I like each individual piece in and of themselves, but put altogether it just doesn't look right to me. If I were to drop that kind of coin on a custom I'd want it to be a little cleaner.

    Confederate Motorcycles, more specifically the B120 Wraith, would get my money if I were in the market for a really expensive sporty-ish air cooled twin.

    For now though, the Buell will have to suffice I guess.

    YMMV

    Some of them Look like our stockers and the others look similar to the PVM H-Spokes.

    Ugh, what a site. Links to models open new windows to other sites, some of which immediately open another window.

    Looks like two bikes had a really bad collision and fused into a new bike.
    Cant figure out what the two bikes must have been.

    Hmm, Hardley ad Duc?

    Wow, those bikes are sorta sad in a way. Harley-esque wanting to get out of their skin with all the trappings of "crotch rockets", but way too busy with dazzle and bling. A fad that will gather dust in a barn.

    If you want to be noticed, why not save $70 grand, spend 5-7 grand and get a Falco? And have some "meat on the bones" to boot! Real performance and get noticed at the same time.

    But whatever floats the boat of the big spender. Good on 'em if it makes them jolly.
