| I have always wanted to take a Honda RC51 and strip all the plastic off and throw on a pair of Renthal handlebars and gear it lower. Its got a bullet proof engine with gear driven cams and can hold its own with most Vtwins and 4bangers. | |

Ducati Streetfighter S. And no, you do NOT see those at every corner. I wish they sold in enough numbers to bring the price down to be seen at every corner. I live in Japan, and I see a-LOT of Ducs, and I have yet to see a live one on the street! Plus it's one of the first naked bikes derived from a sportbike that wasn't "re-tuned for torque"...*cough*bullshit!*cough* |

Is it possible to get a Wakan, to the states for a good price?
Below $20,000 I would be asking? I see they are from Europe so not sure what thier prices are. |

given the parameters and with no worries about cost, i'm surprised no one has mentioned Confederate
http://www.confederate.com/confederate3/machi ... I would either get a B120 Wraith or a Fighter

In general: There´s so many cool bikes I could think to own but as usual: To little space in the garage and a salary which is far to lo too. But someday I´ll get a Moto Morini Corsaro and a Suzuki RGV 250 though... |

Overpriced toys for celebrities is all they are. Your basic $10,000 Buell would easily out-handle them. Although if you *really* didn't have to worry about cost, they are definitely interesting enough, and quite uncommon. |

Well not only the price but also what the company stands for as well wasn't intended for the general population to own and ride one of these bikes.
Even if I had the money, I'd still ride my $10k BUELL over this snobie "rich man's" toy. |

I found mine, although it isnt a production bike many of Roland Sands creations would suit my needs.

Well, I think I found my new future love of my life. It's called the Wakan. It's definitely a Naked V-twin, it has a 1640cc S&S engine with 120 bhp @ 5750rpm and 12 ft-lbs of torque @ 4250 rpm, and I believe Erik Buell and the inventor of this bike would get along very well. Link to website
sorry about the size I couldn't fix it.

You see the internet pics, you see the glossy magazine pictures... I saw one last night in person. Out riding and had a group of bikes turn in front of me at a light. One looked like a super tricked out Buell from a distance so I followed them to get a better look at it. This is what it was:
Some Miami rich kid and his Confederate Wraith. 95K and only 250 made. 
Just had to get a pic or two. |
