    Thought this may interest some of you, the Roehr 1250 born & bred in Gurnee, IL. It has some familar styling que's, despite its chosen power plant it looks interesting in the least.

    pretty cool. The engine seems to weigh a lot (120lbs) but then again, maybe that isnt a lot, I have no idea what a normal I4 or V4 weighs.

    Pretty much anything with those super components (sweet brakes, ohlins shocks, 10 spoke march wheels) is gonna be cool in my book.

    Well they are asking for $4500 down to reserve one that leads me to beleive they will be in the $45K ball park.

    If I'm spending 45K on a vehicle, it's going to be a BMW 335I Sport Sedan.

    KC-10 FE out...

    If I'm going to pay 50K for a bike it better NOT have a harley engine in it. I don't care if it is supercharged.

    You wrap a harley engine in some fancy plastic, with quality chassis components and what do you get? ripped off. You can't polish a turd.

    I think it looks a lot like a motosizz. And at that price it is going to be quite a bit cheaper than buying the Cysz! But a Harley motor? Com-on!

    It has a pretty looong wheelbase do to the V-rod motor thats in it.

    Oh & although a Harley motor in Name & production, the Motor was developed by Porsche !

    Which means it's all German design & performance :wink:

    Remember, the V-rod is the fastest "production" M/C made in the 1/4 mile over even the Hayabusa.

    The motor is no slouch, & is well made.

    But that said, I'd rather have a 1098R Duc, or the new Aprillia V4 thats coming out for 50 plus grand :tongue:

    Thanks Stosh, that standard swing arm looks like it was lifted off a Honda trail 50.
