That is great! 1650cc V-4... I'm thinking some serious torque will be at hand. Looking forward to seeing a ride test.

I would have to say this is the best American designed and made motorcycle I've ever seen. Buells a genius too but this has just got everything correct.

This is the bike with car style internals, right? Low maintenance.

Yes, I believe it uses pushrods with hydraulic lifters, the layout is like half a detroit V8.
