No, not because of how it looks (I think it's ugly compared to the Hinckley twin), but the specs... Quote:
Both bikes are powered by Métisse’s own air/oil-cooled, eight-valve, 1000cc parallel-twin. Designed by ex-Formula 1 engineer Tim Baker and manufactured by Specialised Engine Services, a leading British F1 supplier, this compact engine is rated at 97 bhp and 70 lb.-ft. of torque.
And...
Quote:
Lisi says customers will have a variety of options to choose from, including a power-up kit said to boost output to 120 bhp. “We can get a lot more power out of this engine in fully road-legal trim,” he says. “We’ve tuned one engine to produce 140 bhp with 80 lb.-ft. of torque, just to see what it’ll do.”
