And don't you wish that Dan Gurney was your Grandpa?!! With that long wheelbase and low center-of-gravity height, it doesn't wheelie on hard acceleration -- and thus has probably the fastest 0-60 mph time of _any_ street motorcycle.
Thx, Doug! Dan has been working on this bike since forever and is very proud of it. --Steve Smith "Doug Milliken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ever feel trapped by your paradigms? Sheesh - I think they are awesome looking machines and it's about time someone was prepared to challenge the design principles that motorcycles have been limited by for many years. iksteh

Yes I do, but that wasnt what I was getting at. > With that long wheelbase and low center-of-gravity height, it doesn't > wheelie on hard acceleration -- and thus has probably the fastest 0-60 mph > time of _any_ street motorcycle. Unless you're racing motorcycles, they're all about looking cool, and I just dont see how you could look cool on one like this...if the seat was traditional, it would kick ass. Now, it just looks like one of those motorcycles that's placed inside of its giant wheel. PA

Maybe....I hope it has good brakes for the upcoming corner.....<g> But with 70+ Bhp, I don't think it will outrun bikes like the GSX-R 1000. Beside that, doing a wheelie is also fun. Remco
