The passenger accommodations look pretty poor.

- We will reserve your Hellcat with a 5% prepayment of $2,250.00 USD processed via credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express. (If you prefer to wire prepayment, please contact us via "][email protected])

I take that to imply that this ??????? is going to set you back $45,000 USD.

They had a feature on them on some show on Discovery Channel a while back. The company owner claimed it had a top speed of 185 mph and handled "better than a sportbike" or something like that. While the design is incredible, I didn't have too much respect for the builders after the BS I heard. I don't care how much HP you have in that thing--you're not going to get 185mph out of it...

At these prices I rather have a Ducati.

Interesting.... Not my cup of tea though. I foresee a millionaire's "couple times a year" bike here.

That seat looks damned uncomfortable...

The rider accommodations suck too. The seat looks like a piece of aluminum painted black.

I wonder what it would look like with a Bill Mayer Saddle on it?

Agreed -- very little (or no) concept of an un-faired bike at high speed... :huh:

I was thinking alone this line

Is that where the brightest of the Hippy generation ended up???

Bet they don't sell any to FJR Forum members. We KNOW about paying on spec for something that's not built yet.

I hope.

Well, at least the shock is easy to adjust... :huh:

 

[HaulinAshe]

I'm still trying to determine where the mirrors, signal lights and support wiring will be located, just to make it street legal???



I'm with Niehart, easy to service!

Agreed

Really trick engineering though. It would be fun to start with a clean sheet and design something like this if I were an engineer.

 

[Fred W]

really? a pushrod V-twin is trick engineering?

In Wisconsin, maybe...

WHOA!

Maybe this is General Lee's answer to Buell's Ullyses S. Grant?

I was expecting to hear from someone on that! I should have been more clear. I was referring to the overall package. It seems most of these custom builders like the fitment of the S&S type air cooled V-Twins. I guess i'm a glass 1/2 full kind of guy and can appreciate the bike for what it is.

 

[johnny80s]

It is definitely interesting but not my bag of Cheetos.

I s'pose... but it wasn't all that long ago that folks were singing 'boutr the advanced enjuneiring featurs of the OCC choppahs
