All indications were that this bike was coming. It was just a matter of when. Now...I sure as hell hope it's competative.

It probably will be...if it will knock the Suzuki's off the front row I'll even pull for it. Oh crap...here comes Tigger.

They used to sell the XB RR for the same price.. 1450ccs, 150hp 130-140 tq..

This thing had BETTER be putting down some serious numbers for that kind of money..

No kidding. And no where in the presser or article does it mention power numbers.

I'm not gonna bash either but I don't see how a few engine changes, a chain drive and a couple other tweaks makes this bike worth $40,000... I doubt Aaron Yates bike costs $40,000 in material- minus the suspension of course. The article said that they are still running Showa.

Shit, if they are competitive, I'll be right there cheering them on with you!!!

All I want is an American company to build a bike that competes with the Japanese makers on equal ground!

I will say one "bashy" thing though, this bike sounds to be almost the same as the bikes competing in Daytona Sport Bike. If so, I think that it's kinda weird. It would be like having a slightly less modified GSXR1000 in that class.
