He has had some great ideas that is for sure.
But he also has blindspots. He took one of the best looking Harley engined bikes ever, the Cyclone, threw it away and replaced it with that monstrosity of a Firebolt. The Lightning and Ulysses weren't any better. The oil in swingarm was okay, but that fuel in frame was ugly & hid the engine. By doing so with an air cooled engine, the frame got hot enough to burn your hand. I'm not a fan of rim mounted brakes either. More ugly stick engineering. That's the thinking of a racer, where all that matters is shaving lap times. As a race engineer, he's brilliant. Steetbikes, like I said, blindspot.
