Bore x Stroke: 112 x 60.8mm

JAysUs that's over-square! I'm surprised it doesn't need 2 plugs per cylinder.

200 hp and 100 ft lbs? All under 11,000 RPM? From a twin?!?

Holy smokes, I want one!

 

[Sal Paradise]

Reading about it they did a lot of mass reduction, and the frame is basically 2 small parts hung off the motor. No trellis frame! Yeah!! I like the mufflers down low too.

 

[T-boy]

That's one serious machine!

Zooooom !!!!

Love it!!!

To quote the great Hunter S. Thompson;

"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them - but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one".

Thanks for that quote... I'm a Hunter S fan and didn't know about the Sausage Creature!! Cheers!!!

As a track day bike, You bettcha Red Rider !!

As an everyday mount, probably best suited for the young and limber, or a squid with more money than brains.

Oh man! I'm amazed you didn't know about the Sausage Creature. It's such a great piece.

Holy Moly!!!

 

[Sal Paradise]

Thats quite a video... wow!

That is one bike that I would have on my bucket list of bikes to own. Unfortunately there is a large hole in the bottom of that bucket and I'm having enough trouble keeping the ones I have now in it.
I do love that bike though. :sportbike:

 

[neuroboy]

It's such a great piece.

+1 to that sentiment. . . classic HST

 

[simpson]

Wow.

I'm in lust.

It's a beaut for sure. I'll just say this: as pretty and mechanically accomplished as it is, chassis itself--especially the rear half of it--really looks to be following the form of the Japanese bikes (especially the "hornet/stinger" tail. I'm not a huge fan of that look even though I know it's all the rage.

Understand, too, that this is coming from someone who thinks the '91-'98 SuperSport and the 748/998 chassis are the best looking ducs.

Honestly I don't know about this bike. It looks cool and all, but why develop a bike based on the MotoGP frameless design that both Rossi and Hayden don't like?

I would love to ride it to see how it feels. Would I like to own one? Not sure yet.
