Seems a shame to develop a 6 cylinder bike and then not offer a naked version... with 6 into 6 exhausts.

I have had a concept 6 picture as my desktop since the day they released photos of it....I really hope they turn it into k bike without changing to much of the concept...that is if they do...Ill even sacrafice someones harley to the bike gods if it helps.

The covered bike typically comes out before the naked.

Probably takes them a while to hide all that plumbing.

I think you release the high-profit model first and then come out with the model all the journos and "enthusiasts" love but don't buy.

Damn!
 
Saw the Jay's Garage unvale and even at 700lbs. I want one (a GT that is).A dedicated touring bike is on my list of five and this will fit the bill nicely.It will be interesting to see how the market responds.Competition may allow for some seriously upgraded offerings from the other OEM's.What a grand age we live in.

Funny and insightful. What are you doing here...?

How many years do you think it'll take before some crazy backyard genius grafts on a second cylinder bank to create a V-12. It probably wouldn't work in a motorcycle, but a torquey 3.3-liter V-12 making 300 horses would be a kick in something like an Ariel Atom!
