A genuine 'Amish' bike.

It made me smile. I like it. V. quirky and sounds like it's well built.

I'd have one.

Engine just looks wrong, needs a nice little air-cooled v-twin lump.

A twin would be nice but they currently seem to be singles only - they do a version with a 440 version of the XR400 engine.

(I would have read more but the Bikebound site gives me a headache. It's dreadful. ).

It's a CM400 engine, not an XR engine, it's similar but heavier and less powerful (and XR400s aren't exactly powerful to start with)
As for this thing, it's a lot wank.

Think they've done better...

Yes it is, but they do make a version with the CR400 (as a 440) engine in.

Does one need to be a Hugh Janus to own one of these?

Only if your partner is a Hugh Jampton.

What's a CR400?
So this engine that you're saying is the same as the XR engine is kick start only and RFVC?

A typo. See previous post.

Base model 8k,not hard to make it 10k.

I quite like them,but not that much.
