    What a great retro looking bike!
    I guess the cafe look is not just a fad after all.
    Google it for pix. I want it!

          it costs less than I thought it would. Norton is back in the states now too.

            Slap an inline four in there and it would look a lot like a standard 11.
            Good to see someone else building something that looks like a motorcycle instead of a Transformer.

              I'm not too keen on the longitudinal engine. Countertorque would be trying to twist her out from under ya....

              Nice styling though!

                    38 HP. You can probably handle it.

                    There's a Guzzi dealer in my town. I need to stay away. That bike looks awesome!
