105 cubic inch

Wow. some fat slob really knows how to step up at the wrong time. It is an indian motorcycle, here is a vid at L A times.

To get some basic thinking going....

I drive a 1987 subaru. AWD. dual range, 10 gears, some may claim 15.
15 inch oversized wheels, growling at the pavement like a modern rally car wannabe. Full diff lock in four low... I have literally busted its own 2000 pound axle tube.the weight is 2750 empty. I have added 70 pounds of steel.
I have pulled my brothers 3/4 ton chevy out of maines version of wet snow. I have hauled this cars own engine in the back to take home a spare.

it is 108 cubic inches, a 3 main boxer.

This Indian bike is not only retarded, it even has the worlds worst design for 2 cylinders. Get a clue you dumb engineers with an even dumber source of income to sponsor it. The exact eppitamy of why ecomod has its extremes in the other direction...

and to speak barbarically..the car goes faster.

Riders so far have been posting 30-40 mpg trips on it--not bad for an air-cooled belt-driven pig.

On the other hand, this thing will set you back about 36 large. For that, I can buy a cherry 1G Insight and turn it into a fully-appointed 150-mile-range AC-and-lithium-powered EV.

And it would have a higher top speed than this thing as well.

Yes, but the insight doesnt have saddle bags!!!

And the insight isnt American HUGE, and cant make up for small features of a mans body.

And the insight doesnt have a troll pouring gas on the engine either.

And the insight doesnt have ROUND CYLINDER HEADS

and the insight doesnt have chrome everywhere!

Nice video work. Yay, more girls on bikes is always a good thing. Heck, more people on bikes is a good thing!

Spending that much money on a bike just makes it a fashion show. All these bikers with leather this, chrome that, etc. is all about fitting in with thier fellow biker fashionistas. Bikes that actually ride really great (and look good too) do not need to be more than $8,000, and a boat load of them aren't.

Someone said that "You only need to spend enough to live on. The rest is just for showing off." I believe it was Forrest Gumps mom.

Most Indian and HD customers, (and others) really just like to show off thier stuff and belong to a culture. It's not about individualism, it's really just an affinity to yet another like minded group.

Indians are beautiful bikes...when I'm pullin' down the big bucks, I'm building a vintage Harley or Indian bobber bike. In all fairness, the older models mostly ran about 750cc's and pulled mileage that's very competitive with anything today.

When I'm pulling down the big bucks, I'm converting a Honda PC800 to a lithium-powered AC-driven cruiser. To each his own, I guess. :-)

[jcp123]

Of course. I'm a classic vehicle and hot rod nut at heart always have been, since I was just out of diapers. Blame my Dad whose first car was a '39 Chevy with Fenton split manifold and Smithy's pipes - he raised me that way! FE speaks to my mechanically inclined and curious side though!

If you don't get it, you never will.

If you don't like it don't buy it.

Round cylinder heads.. wow, not.

Chrome, nice.. but its got too much

105cubic inch?.. thats 1700cc. What bike needs that much power?

"when you go for neutral, you actually get it" - Just how it should work. Well done.

"its easy to find neutral, which isn't normally the case with a V-twin". Load of BS. Yamaha virago gears are easy to find, neutral too, as long as the linkage isnt loose.

36 grand?.. They wont be getting too many customers at that price.


bgd73 - whats wrong with a V-twin?
