Ok, that's a "stick it in your tail pipe and smoke it" to harley-davidson alright!

Man, I would love one of those!

Oh hell yes...

I currently ride an 80's Yamaha but the Rocket III would just do so much better in traffic. ^_^

I've gotta wonder about vibration though. Maybe they've got some good dampeners installed.

Me too! (1983 Yamaha XJ650)... I cant' see what I'd do three and a half times as much engine...

You're going to lose your Bloke License if you keep saying that.

Perhaps, but it's true. The 650cc engine has more power than I can safely use as it is. I can do 0-100 fast enough that I could probably knock myself off the bike. It's top speed is somewhere around 190, which is a lot faster than I'm ever going to go due to the high chance I COULD DIE! :)

Why do I need a 2.3L motorcycle engine? Egad.

My 650cc engine is fast enough!

Thee 2.3L in my car pushes it plenty fast. Admittedly it's a turbo. But still, it's pushing a *car*.

In Italy they say, "O la moglie o la moto." Meaning, "a wife or a motorcycle." Now that I ain't got the moglie, I could get me a moto... but I'm not sure I'd need this kind of SRB under my hindquarters. Sure is cool looking, though!

[EDIT]: Just watched the YouTube video - what a hoot. It's a good ad, it even made me want one. Image

2.3 litres? Holy Acceleration, Batman!

And here am I deciding against a 650 Harley because it's just a bit too big for me, and I'm for the 400 Honda...
