And an interview with Frd Hayfield.

He builds a great bike, now if only he could get together and sell some.
Reminds me of a sponsor I had when racing. He could build anything,
just wasn't much for marketing.

[Alan Stewart]

He says he's moving production to China so he can build them faster. Seems to imply he has been building some. Has anyone ever asked him how many he has sold?

[MostlyBonkers]

I really enjoyed reading that interview. Thanks for posting. I love the spirit of it all. Not to be outdone by Kawasaki's marketing department!

Hope the Facebook link works.

Well this is an old idea we kicked around but still applies.  It sounds like it needs to be two wheel drive.
Spreading that torque to two tires so that the "grip" will be doubled (or almost).
