LOL go find some BSB bikes you like then and post them up for discussion :)

I can't be the only one adding bike content otherwise we may as well all give up now.

Form over function. Bet it's a pig to ride (if indeed it actually runs).

There's pics of it being ridden, under it's own steam.

I kinda like what he does on a visual level,even though I'd never consider buying one and also given the cost would probably be out of my league.

Sorta poster bikes and what Whysub said.

The engine looks too modern for it, almost like a car engine, it would look nice with a Yamaha Virago engine in it.

TBH , I don’t think Roland Sands does a bad job. There is loads of mileage in non race rep , and especially lifestyle bike. HD have built a reputation on it.
BMW have the NineT - which even for those who don’t like it, it as been a big earner for them.
Triumph have milked the Bonnie range

There is a big proportion of bikers who are not interested in radial brakes and quickshifters - because that is not what a bike is to them.
Re the pic - I like the Indian in its usual form - but it’s a tiny bike ...

I kind of like the look of it, but the engine looks ridiculous and it will bend that frame into knots.

I like it. Not sure I'd want to own it, but I like the thought,design and engineering that goes into these bikes.
