A bunch of new bikes in it (FIVE BMWs?!?) including that new HD street tracker bike, looks sweet! They also have a write up on that south bay Triumph bonnie in there.

They also beat up on the Thruxton (vs Ducati GT1000). In my opinion, they miss the point of the Thrux. And the Duc, while very nice, is NOT a classic. One look at those front forks, an abomination.

Yeah I haven't read that whole article yet, but I read the summary at the end. Sounded more like they had it out for the thrux from the beginning and didn't give it a chance!

Yeah, I saw the HD Tracker in Cycle World. It looked cool but to we really need another retro?? I like to see the originals restored.

That's true. But then again I wasn't all that thrilled with the new Triumph Scrambler either. I think I'm just oooold school.

I have yet to look through the 'print on photos' rag, but I bet millwankees' street tracker is a rip off of Lawwill's. Ya think they did anything more than rearrange the body work? Trick cylinder heads anyone? The new HD Street Tracker. omg. I can see all the court jesters forming a line.

Actually Moe it has a new intake and some trick suspension and such. So it is at least a LITTLE more than just body work.

I just Googled the Norge. Nice. Ya know, it kinda sorta looks like a Tiger with a full fairing. Now there's a concept. I could go for that.
