But going by the comments from the owners I've seen around the net, quality and reliability of their bikes leave much to be desired. I would gladly pay more for a quality product that is *not* made in China! Indeed they do.

We have a very conservative chamber on it and stock gearing is for urban riding. Larger carbs and tuned exhausts are optional. The engine is mildly limited.

I think an aircooled engine would be a better choice for its simplicity and aesthetics. Agreed. I think an aircooled engine would be a better choice for its simplicity and aesthetics.

It looks ridiculous, like an air compressor. If they are going for an old-timey look, they need cooling fins on the engine...even if they are fake. They should put some fake finning on the engine.

I dunno, I think its a great idea. I could see enjoying one of these on my city commute, or for riding the local back roads on the weekend. Not every ride needs to zoom down the Interstate at 75 MPH.

The poor grammar and misspelled words on their website also do not engender confidence in putting down your deposit for one of these. Nostalgia is fine (I often am guilty of dwelling too much in it) but this proves again that you really can’t go home again.

That would improve the gas mileage. I have seen them at California dealerships so they must be environmental friendly.
