Hogslayer ?

I cannot see the sense in that - what is the good of it ? How fast it can go in a straight line does not mean much. I doubt it would be faster than an R1 Yamaha.

It must sound beautiful, not so sure about the handling, but who cares, it's got a purpose. Definitely will keep an eye out for it

Yep I understand that
I was being flippant
If it's not for road racing AL won't like it or understand it or be happy about it

Exactly.

People build bikes for FUN.

If we weren’t interested in fun, most of us wouldn’t have bikes at all. And those that did would all be on Honda’s !

I have a lot of fun on my bikes. Including, no, especially, the Honda.

Personally I'm interested in whatever it is if it has a wheel each end

And the fact it has a DRUM BRAKE (which Al doesn’t seem to have spotted) will make it even more fun!!!
