For that price, I'd rather buy Italian.

me too or 4 Japanese liters. That's the thing that some "Buy American" members don't get (overall values vary from person to person). If you buy anything else, you're not as patriotic as the ones that buy American even if you fought for this country.

I'm glad EB is back and would considered his products if future models look good to me and monetary charges reflect it. At least he's not restricted by the MoCo anymore. With that said, at 40k, I would easily take a 1098R, one RSV4 one F4, or four liters from the Big 4 brands over it. Good luck to EB and hopefully he has the resource to develop more models so we as consumers have more options to choose from.

40k?  No bike is worth that amount of money.  WTF are you paying for?  Looks? Performance? Certainly you're just getting scrap metal & not much of it.  It better be able to transform & battle the Decepticons.  Some bikes are beautiful looking & performs awesome, but for the tag on them I'd rather get a car, but anyone can get a loan for a bike nowadays even if its on the 100k.  hahaha

Depends on who you talk to. Not too many things are worth 40k to some but for others, 40k is just pocket change.

Eric should bring back the Barracuda version too. It was scrapped buy the MoCo during the testing stages. It should be priced closer to the norm:

I think the wheels look fine. However, I prefer dual rotors in the front for brakes like most sportbikes. But then again, no complaints that I know of from Buell owners when it comes to Buell's patent ZTL rotor braking performance.
