if it is , in fact, H.D. , i think it's everybody they're shootin for but especially the R3.

the guys over at ratnet speak of spankin the vrods all day long including the new factory hotrod.

it makes me happy they've chosen the vrod engine configuration cause from my understanding it's tolerances don't allow much room for building while the R3 has got room to upgrade for gobs more power in it's basic design & no one has yet to get serious about fuel , cams, heads etc.

i give H.D. credit for trying but their real market won't buy this anymore than they bought the vrod.

so many people think the R3 is ugly. lets see what HD designers can do with 2400 + cc's to make a good lookin bike.

if they can keep it under 675 #'s R3 has a true challenger. good advertising for Triumph & also good for future aftermarket parts.
