QuoteNeat looking.  I'd consider it just because the name sounds Polish... and us Polacks gotta stick together  ;)

No comment.  ;D  Your setting yourself up on that one  :P

It makes me very sad that the best this country can do is the Buell.  

Ditto.  It sure would be nice if the Americans could build something COMPETITIVE.  If HD could come up with some inline-4, decent chassis, and didn't cost a million dollars, that would be sweet.  The Buell is nothing but a joke IMO.

That Fisher sounds interesting but aren't they aiming for something like a $20,000 price tag?

I don't think there is a Polish joke out there that I haven't heard, laughed at, or delivered myself.  :)

Dan,

Go to the web site.  They have several jobs posted.  Maybe you can offer them something they don't already have.  The far out possibility is that your daq would be a part of there bike.  If you notice though they are using an AIM based system, so there's no telling what their current needs are or will be for racing or for production development.

Way ahead of you.  I sent a them 2 emails already. One for sales, another for techincal.  I"m serious as hell.  I'll help them with DAQ if they let me ride one  :D

and speaking of DAQ, have you looked at the update I posted and my reasoning?

We'll continue that over there.  ;D

Fischer was talking $10K for the first ones with no Supercharging. I think itd be more like 12.

Yeah, baby!  Now we're talkin'.

Saw it.

Regressive suspension.  Tularis had it.

Bimota had the swingarm pivot in the same location as the countershaft in like 1984.

Trail independent of rake.  You just need to have different inserts for the triple clamps.  

Bimota had a swingarm front suspension.  Very cool.  Yamaha had the RADD front on the GTS1000.  Trying to change conventional operations is almost impossible.

Look at the Britton.  H-D was rumored to be a buyer after John Britton died.  Erik Buell would have loved it.  So would a lot of people.  

I think reality dictates that things must be somewhat conventional and mass produced.  The CB750 changed everything.  Pretty simple really.  Nothing incredibly odd other than the concept of an inline four cylinder bike that was affordable.

Look at the Aprilia Cup bikes.  At over $8k each...

Versus the Suzuki SV650...

I think the Ford GT, the one that is like the old GT40, is cool...

But the Mustang GT is going to be more attainable for me.

The Motoczysz is a cool idea with some innovative ideas, but I still think that an R1 would be a decent investment to me.  Send it to 4&6, maybe put on some different triple clamps and stuff...I think it would be hard to beat.
