that's because there's a whole lot of wannabes who can't spend the coin on a bike but they'll fork over $50 or better for a shirt or hat that makes them look like they have the bike. I asked a guy one time who was wearing HD chaps what kind of bike he had. none but I'm hoping to get one this year. at least he looked the part.

I'd like to see him get back in the game... another option for bikes is never a bad thing IMO.
as far as marketing goes... it's America... land of wannabe's and Posers... everyone wants to look the part... very few actually ARE the part. I see no harm in making a small fortune off them |

I wonder if he truly learned from harley and will ridiculously overprice all the apparel.

I was stoked... until I clicked the link. Seriously, I had to scroll 3/4 of the way down the page just to get to the bike and past the sweatshirts and other clothing. Weak sauce.

So what will be the powerplant on the thing? Does EB still have ties with Rotax, or did he lose contract when HD axed him?

Rotax is still in tight with him, his contract with them preceded being purchased by H-D but they haven't done anything but this one engine and were developing the 1190 version when H-D droppedhim on his head.
