New MO Poll/Survey

Being no fan of worster engine I would still say that it could have a chance. The bike does not look bad at all.



Even more importantly US dollar was six years ago 1.20 Euros, now it is 0.77 EUR. Thats a 36 % cost advantage without lifting a finger. If you keep bringing the democracy to Iraq sooner or later HD will have lower production cost than Kymco.



They really should "detune for torque" the V-Rod engine and give it to Sporsters, Buells and this thing.

You know this as well as I do that performance issue does exist, in a big way. I want more power, and somehow I get the feeling I am not alone. All these guys going stage this and cam that.



Nothing new there. What´s new is that the market is changing rapidly. Look at the real power cruisers out there. Lame old 64 hp on a dyno doesn´t cut it any more.

Probably. But then its a fair assumption that this Honda Ascot would have a pretty decent engine and gearbox and would be priced ok.
