Looks pretty cool...what engine options are there or would you have a local shop put it together ??
Prefer:
http://www.confederate.com/confederate2/c2-links/home.html
but would bet that the chassis you are looking at probably handles better in the agressive twisties.

For one thing the exhaust system will get you roasted in CA and the basic ergonomics of the motorcycle look like they suck hard. Personally I think it is fugly. Aftermarket engineers scare the hell out of me. Here today, gone tomorrow.
Stick with a factory name brand Buell, Busa, Yamaha, whatever. My personal pick would be a BMW they are not only fast but excruciatingly reliable and you can clip your samsonite luggage right on their lock racks. They are almost an investment, they really hold their value.
The biggest thing to remember is parts and service, where will you find them when these guys fold up and go away? I know you are into service, Dan and your checkbook being a full testimony, LOL With a name brand you can drop it off and pick it up and it will probably have a warranty that works, unlike Dodge.
For going to the local sushi bar, that one might work Personally I would make a sacrifice out of it and run it off one of the cliffs in Malibu Canyon. YUCK..................
My .03 and a million plus miles on two wheels..............
Howya doing Mike aka: jujitsu boy. Hope you are well and how is the Super Tank?? Is it up to 7000 pounds yet with the roll cage? :dontknow:

Uh, wouldnt take a revtech if it was free
If you get to choose the motor, then there are far better options.

AMEN.............Pure Trash:2in1:
nowwhat I know ya want some thing different but.....
stay away from any harley road bike for performance,they rev low,bout 7000 rpms don't make hp handle like a turd because of the crank rotation and you will get passed by a guy on a drunksycle holding a boons farm wine bottle
you would be ten times happier to find a used aprillia tuno,have it customized frame up,have virtuallly no money in it,twice the handling and power plus reliability
