It is surely one sweet looking ride, and with the 120R in it I imagine it goes as good as it looks.  :2vrolijk_21:

Reminds me too much of an Arlen Ness bike, like the Vision that most people on this site bash every time the subject of Victory motorcycles comes up.

Just saw one of those yesterday up at the bike show in Cleveland. Nice looking bike but still not for me.

I would really like to see that primary setup on my bike.

I have been in this shop quite a few times they build some neat bikes  the  mastermind builder is a nice guy  he had a shop in Concord NC..  The owner of this shop and fat mike the sales person that does not know a Vance @ Hines pipe from a stock pipe is a  real     well i will be nice  I was in there shop a few times over the holiday I had a friend with me looking for a bike that was and is able to buy any bike they had in stock  the owner and fat mike did not acknowledge us at all and he recognized me ,after 30 minutes we left the shop and my buddy is spending his money at a different shop ....  I wish they were  people friendly I would do  some business with them  I did notice that they sell most all their bikes on the internet....

They're crazy, I wouldn't even consider giving them HALF of what they want for that bike. Sorry, but it does nothing for me ... especially at that price.

It's a darn shame there is so much emphasis on show bikes that win trophies but can't take a simple corner without dragging or scrapping something.  I like a simple well performing bike that can be ridden hard and can pile on the miles.  What's the fun if someone on a moped out corners you time after time.  Maybe I'm just to darn old, but give me something that excites me going in and out of corners and doesn't loosen my fillings.  Can you imagine if all that effort that goes into building a bike that just looks good standing still was directed into a bike that has the suspension, brakes, dependability and performance that would excite drivers of all levels.  Everytime I see one of these or hear someone say I want to lower my bike to look cool makes me even more seclusive than I already am.  I don't judge people but I don't need the clothing, tattoos and live the cut out MOCO life style to enjoy my time on the open road.  To each their own I guess, just because I have different ideas doesn't mean I'm right.  According to what sells and takes up space in Cycle Rags I just find myself going against the grain.

I really don't agree with the price, way out of what I could ever justify spending on a bike. But if you look at the specs this looks like it would be a great driver. The front wheel is only 26", which is pretty normal now and every effort has been made to correct the geometry. This bike doesn't sit any lower than many bikes on here that are driven daily such as Mike's orange beauty. Not trying to defend anything just saying this bike looks very ride able even on the twisties.

Normal for who?
A custom bike builder maybe.
"Normal" is something found on a production bike.
Look at a new Harley, Indian, Honda, Moto Guzzi, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, KTM, Buell, Victory, Royal Enfield and none of them have a 26" front wheel. Big wheel dressers have taken the place of choppers but that doesn't make them normal. (except on the show circuit)

It may not be "production" normal, but at bike week, Sturgis or anywhere else bikes gather it is pretty common to see 26" tires on bikes that have been ridden long distances to get there, not trailer queen show bikes. Isn't it usually the aftermarket that starts trends the MOCO soon follows? I imagine if you said a production Harley would come with a 19" front wheel or a 240 rear tire 10 years ago you would have been looked at as crazy. We may never see a 26 on the front but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 23 in the future. Back to the bike, I would be willing to bet it is very capable of being ridden long distances and fast in the curves.

I'd have to agree. It reeks of 90's Arlen Ness.
