The ass is hideous but that's what hacksaws are for. 950cc at 318lbs wet is the part that matters. You can make it prettier later.

I know that a plane crash killed the top officers of this company last month.  A sad day for the motorcycle industry.

I think the USA should leave designing of motor vehicles to the Europeans, surely it couldn't cost that much to to hire a design company

Not that bad of a design for a first crack at it.  Give them time.  The numbers look good.  And it's nice having a real bike made in America.

This was a Swedish company that had recently relocated to the US.
