    New company, looking for money to continue to develop the bike. On paper looks great. In pictures the bike is just OK, I don't care for the headlight area, but the rest of it looks good.

    Hopefully one of these obscure brands will eventually make it into production and we can actually buy an American sportbike.

    That'll be a tough row to hoe, but I'm with you, I hope they can make it.

    If they have to emulate something, the 916-996 is a good start (better than the trainwreck coming out of the Ducati factory at this time, IMHO of course).

    It may be your humble opinion but it is also shared by many.

    Why wouldn't they do sometihng innovative a little? If you're gonna start from scratch, you may as well do different than your competition ...

    that 1000cc motor only pumps out 120 hp!!! wtf is that? my 01' gix 750 puts 130rwhp...of course has the typical mods, pipe, filter and power commander, but jeez, i'd hope the 1000cc can put down more... the jap Liter bikes put down at least 150hp...

    looking for funding? baaaaaahahahahhaa..... with the propper funding anyone could make an american superbike.

    please, dont compare an inline 4, GSXR 750, to V-twin whan it comes to HP. I got a 130 HP GSXR 750 also... and a 110 HP Aprilia Mille. Guess what, they about equal. Ridablility out weighs straight HP numbers.

    first thing they need to do is get a graphic artist to make a real logo.

    then get rid of the mouth below the two eyes on the fairing
