| Yes, it is true. I do have a 250cc bike coming out. At this moment, the only details I can give you are: - 250cc V-Twin with a 4 speed. - Hand clutch, foot shift. - Mikuni carburetor. - Softail frame. - All steel gas tank & fenders. - Telescopic front end. - Will come with an MSO |

I was the Vice-President of Marketing for a motorcycle company back in '03 & '04. I'm prepared for the hurricane of fury thats about to consume my life. There is nothing I would want to do more in life than make this happen. |

What we have going right now is a design. Our next step is to find the right manufacturer for the job. It has to be someone we can rely on for quality, production and dedication.
Once we find the manufacturer, they'll be responsible for creating what we call, "Chassis Under Power." This means, we would receive the bike without the tank, fenders, handlebars, controls, mirrors, seat, pipes, lights, wiring and other various small parts.
Once we receive the Chassis Under Power, we would take control of the assembly and add our base parts and our upgrade parts. After approx. 8 hours of assembly, the bike would be crated and shipped to the dealer, along with the MSO. THE DEALER WILL HAVE THE MSO AT THE TIME THE BIKE ARRIVES TO THE DEALER. |
