Geeze that's tough looking, ain't it? Look at the front end on that thing... and that swingarm!! For the power and looks, I really like it!

If it really needs 4 fork legs and a full hand-width of swingarm, that beast just has to be heavy. 5 qts of fuel in 60 miles comes out to 40 some mpg, a diesel should do better.

1.188 gallons in 62.14 miles is closer to 53mpg. Not too shabby, but should be better I think.
I noticed they don't show the weight anywhere.....

Looks like a hydraulic center stand should be standard equipment. And if it ever got beyond its center of gravity at a standstill? Incorporated in lifting eyes (chrome of course) comes to mind. Beyond all that, 'sucker oozes testosterone
