Can I have one of these please?

I'll be good, I'll take it for walks and clean out it's cage and I'll
even do a paper round to pay for its feed

It may be a Ginge but to be honest I don't actually give a ****.

 

Looks quite nice, in a very Buell sort of way. But why is it that
people designing these sort of things can't see any further than
big-cubed Harle cloned engines? I mean, there's tons of engines out
there - why go with something you need to hand-make from 'solid billet
aluminium' and push to 1750cc just to get 120 horses and 125 lbft?

Of course, the $64,000 question is...

 

I wouldn't mind one of these

please.

 

But would you like them if they were new and didn't look like they'd
been composting down for a while?

 

Not sure.

 

a) the chain's hanging like a pound of mince

b) why's it got a salad-dryer bolted to the side of the engine

c) gaylord.

 

From the Robb Report review under the press links:

"If you were to blend an American heavyweight with an Italian
superbike, the result would be the Ecosse Heretic."

I'd go along with that - it's obviously dripping with design cues &
engineering copied from an Italian superbike[1].

[1] If you're blind, on crack, & know nothing about bikes.

 

To be fair, it has got some nice components thrown at it - ISR brakes,
Ohlins forks and shock, Oz wheels.

Bit of a waste, really.
