How are the die-hards going to react to that GSXR tail section on a Harley? They might fall into a feed-back loop and you'd see nothing but exploding half-helmets raining down at the local biker hang-out.

"I love that V-rod... but it's got a Jap-assend on it.... but I love it..... but it's got Jap-stuff on it... but it looks so good.......BOOM!!!......SPLATT!!!

I still say it's uncomforatble to ride for the foward mounted controls and the clip-ons. But it does look pretty cool. Performance Machine seem to turn out some pretty nice looking customs.

Sure, I would take it too!

I posted some other photos and information about this bike too.

If you look at concept sketch in my post it looks like they origonally were going to have a little be taller bars that might have worked out quite well. We have a TV Show over here called American Thunder and they showed this bike. I went to the Perfomance Macnine website right away but there were no pictures at that time. I emailed their webmaster and he told me that bike was on tour at all the bike shows. Several weeks later they posted some pictures of the bike.

I think it's a pretty cool idea. I kinda look at it as a crossover bike. It's in between a Crusier and a sport bike. A little like the Moto Guzzi Breva.

Ahem, *cough Z1000*cough......
They got over the Showa shocks and Nipendenso electrics so a little bit of Kawasaki plastic shouldn't scare 'em off..... :laughing:

Wow that's hot! I like this one better than the perfomance machine custom. Oh and I like the bike quite a bit as well. :laughing:

What color is that paint? It looks like a reddish copper. Pretty nice.
