Vitpilen inspired Harley?

Wow! That's something...

 

[nampus]

I'll keep my Vitpilen please. That Harley probably weighs as much as two Huskies....
And probably has less power

Actually, I don't understand the obsession with fluo yellow.

(and it's about time they make a successor for the Nuda 900 R, I sooo much want one...)

That looks cool, I do have a thing for fluo yellow. My MT-07 was the grey & fluo yellow colour scheme, and so my SP401 was a perfect companion bike. No fluo yellow on my Harley though, but there may be a Hello Kitty or two on it somewhere
Me sitting on my SP401, plus an extra half me as pillion, in total weighs as much as my Harley on it's own.
I love both bikes though, even though they are like chalk and cheese.

I saw this pic awhile back, but I believe it is a Sportster 1200. So faster than a 401, slower than a 701.

Closest thing they could make now is something based off the 890 Duke R

BMW makes the 900 still.

 

[Max Kool]

That's not the same engine, let alone the same bike.

 

[BISavage]

True.
A used Nuda is only about 2 grand more expensive than a new 701, so...

 

[BISavage]

Still hoping the e pilen will be better than the e harley, so I can actually buy one and not be ashamed

 

[Max Kool]

The Nuda went out of production like 8 years ago, and was never sold in the US.... (Else I would have had one)

 

[Vanessa]

Do you mean the Harley Livewire? Why would you be ashamed of owning a Livewire? By all accounts they are one of the best of the current crop of electric bikes. I'd love to own one, but they are way too expensive for me (as are most electric bikes). I'd love to try out the e-Pilen when that comes out, and I'd equally love to own one if it's any good.

MAX lean angle is 45°
That's less than a car.

 

[Max Kool]

45 degrees is seriously not bad.

 

[BISavage]

That harley is a sports bike, and not a slippery glide or whatever they call them nowadays.

Check this out, when looking at your watch, the harley e-sport-thing can lean to exactly halfway between the 1 and 2 and your 701 can lean atleast to the 2.

 

[Max Kool]

Calling your bluff on that. That’s 60 degrees lol. GP level lean.

Serious, when I got my Vitpilen I raised the pegs because I ran out of lean angle and was scraping my boots badly. The Vit can use some help there.

 

[BISavage]

Boots and pegs are different.

I've tried a few pegs, the MFW are good, I personally prefer the HQV Factory Racing ones I have on now.

The thing is, the bike is capable of much more than most people will ever use.

 

[Max Kool]

My bike came with the racing ones and I changed them for these. Narrower and higher.



Agreed on the capabilities of this bike.

 

[BISavage]

Pretty similar to the MFW ones.

When your touching boot, what do your chicken strips look like?

With the Michelins I have 0 mm chicken strip.
