Unless that V-Rod engine is totally remade with aluminum, magnesium, and titanium, he's not gonna be able to shed that much weight. The BMW HP2 Sport has a 1200-cc aircooled boxer twin engine (no water pump, no radiator, no water jacket) with the most exotic parts BMW ever made for that engine, coupled with a lightweight trellis frame and a carbon fiber subframe, lightweight PVM wheels, etc., yet it still cracks in at low 400-lbs. Or the KTM RC8 with the 1200-cc (okay, 1150) watercooled V-twin weighing in at around low 400-lbs too.

So, in order to overcome that heavy ass Revolution engine's weight, Roeher must have done some wicked shits. I'm sorry but I'm skeptical until I see some real data and engine/frame designs.

it was in CW ahile ago talking about the red test prototype and i think the frame is pretty much nonexistant, it uses the motor as the main stress member on the bike
