Getting on the freeway awhile ago....saw this thing down in front of me.  Different looking and appeared to be very fast.

Thanks JC, cool video.  Last night I had a truck here from Haul Bikes to pick up a Bushtec trailer I sold and while we were loading it the driver told me he has been delivering a lot of them all over the country.  I have not seen one on the road but from the video I would say it runs real well.

My mistake, merged the two.

Jock with your smooth talkin self, I'm sure you were able to convince them to let you take a quick, short little test drive.   :huepfenlol2:  Come on buddy.....give it up....tell us you got one sittin in your garage.  :nixweiss:

stevehd....you might not want to do a google search on the HD recalls over the years (or any other make of motorcycle).  Just sayin............

Yeah I agree. It is classified as a motorcycle...except I believe in Connecticut and Texas where they don't classify it as anything, therefore they are not sold as of yet in those states. But it has a steering wheel and occupants sit side by side???
Ain't no way dat der ting'z a modursickle!!!
I vote no...not a motorcycle.
Wouldn't mind taking one for a spin regardless of what it is. I think I would classify it as fun.

Don't know about the smooth talkin' but I did find out that this one belonged to the dealer.  It was on display at the Indian dealership in Daytona.  There wasn't a lot of miles on the ride and at the time there were only a few dealers who had one for there own purpose.

My buddy traded in his road glide for one of these.. I drove it, it was different but I would never give up my HD for one. It felt like driving a car...

There are a few here in the Omaha, NE area. A guy I work with got the get one and loves it. He is getting up there in age and doesn't feel like he can ride any more. Says it has a ton of pep even without a turbo. Says it handles really well in the corners. When he was following me a couple weeks ago he was able to take the curves at the same speed as I and never felt even a little bit out of control. He has traction control so you won't be able to get out of control even if you want. It also has antilock brakes so even though people are complaining that the brakes are small, the thing weighs so little it stops really well. His only complaint is the seats and he is about to fix that with an order with Corbin.
