I Sent my wife a link and she said that she would sell her beloved '77 Yamaha XS650 and buy one if they make it!!!

And she will!!!

Me, I don't get the look. It's like a Vincent without the dual saddle.

Post by: cruzziguzzi on October 23, 2015, 02:40:34 PM: I never seem to visually enjoy faux-hard-tails.

Once the pleasant, continuous line of the frame rail is broken to accommodate suspension, my eye feels faked out, cheated or underserved. At that point, I'd rather have vintage shock-vintage geometry than the busted frame look.

It'll be interesting to see, if this hits the road and, if it takes off, whether HD answers with a "soft-tail" Sportster?

I think it'd have been interesting to take a swing at a "plunger" axle on a proper rigid frame.

Either the test rider is a giant or that is a small bike. Guzzi V7 sized perhaps.

The 1100 liquid cooled motor will be in the bonneville soon. The new EURO spec bikes have to meet tougher EPA regs. Also over in europe all bikes will be ABS equipped as well as will all USA bikes in the very near future.
