The Heretic.

Not a bad looking. It has design cues taken from the Monster.







Price: $75,000 USD

Thoughts?

Spidey

Is that a Harley-style frame (dunno what they're called -- where you stick the engine in the existing frame) rather than having the engine be a stressed member?  If so, WTF?  They're also different pics.  The top one had 6 piston calipers with gas charged forks.  The one below it is 4 pistons and no gas forks. 
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

Good eye! I hadn't noticed that. Perhaps they are different models of that one, or variations on the way to production??  I might guess that the first image was of the conceptual model and the middle one was from a production version.

I wanna like it, cuz it has a lot of cool individual pieces. But I don't think it all came together quite right.

The huge aluminum plate over the gear box in the second pic really bothers me.

Monster Dave

I agree, the gear box looks better in the first image.

Statler

their heretic has been around for many years now.   Since it's so limited each one is a little different.   The Ti frame one is crazy expensive (not that the standard one isn't).

I like it about 25K worth.

That explains this variation:



Check out the frame:

I noticed in the first pic there is an intercooler. In all that extra stuff going on near the gearbox there is a supercharger in there. The bikes do look pretty nice on their web site.

Autostrada Pilot

I'd take one, but there's no way I'll be able to spend $75k on one.


I'll take a Monster for now (and parts will be much easier to find, too).

After 7 years of Monsters, I'm sadly bikeless right now.

I'd rather have Spidey's M1000SS and blow the rest of the $$$ on tires, hookers & blow.

+1  [thumbsup]

But then I have impure thoughts about Spidey's bike that I'm pretty sure border on covetous.
