#2Apparently was at LB IMS - rumor has it Harris was somehow involved in the frame design/mfgr.
Regardless, the anticipated price tag for it with that Indian lump of junk is outrageous (local R-E stealer told me probably $8K). They anticipate seeing it turn up mid-year 2013.

#3It is a gorgeous looking bike imo, but only 36hp from 535cc is a bit lacking.
Hopefully they'll work to get the "fit and finish" a lot better than the usual sub-continent fare.

#6I like a bike like this for what it is,,,,if you had one it could be it gets some good use,,,wonder how fast it goes a dealer near me a few years back had the "cafe" kit on one of the earlier models ,,ali tank, clips, rear sets,,,looked good but I believe the price was $6000,,,,,don't think I'de pay more than 5 now for one,,,just a bit too much for what you get,,,lotta bikes out there for that price,,,,,SD on the net for $5600

#7Its worth $4000.
Two years ago they set up a dealer in Toronto selling them for around $5999 to $6700.
I've never seen one and there is no distributor again.
Considering all the tooling was paid for in 1948 you can be sure even at $4000 there is a lot of margin.
On the same genre... the motoguzzi dealer here sold all(16) of his V7 replicas with 43hp at $9999, so there is a market for the oldschool stuff.
