Apparently was at LB IMS - rumor has it Harris was somehow involved in the frame design/mfgr.

Regardless, the anticipated price tag for it with that Indian lump of junk is outrageous (local R-E stealer told me probably $8K). They anticipate seeing it turn up mid-year 2013.

It is a gorgeous looking bike imo, but only 36hp from 535cc is a bit lacking.

Hopefully they'll work to get the "fit and finish" a lot better than the usual sub-continent fare.

he says that in the video

I like a bike like this for what it is,,,,if you had one it could be it gets some good use,,,wonder how fast it goes

Its worth $4000.

Two years ago they set up a dealer in Toronto selling them for around $5999 to $6700.
I've never seen one and there is no distributor again.
Considering all the tooling was paid for in 1948 you can be sure even at $4000 there is a lot of margin.

On the same genre... the motoguzzi dealer here sold all(16) of his V7 replicas with 43hp at $9999, so there is a market for the oldschool stuff.

For two more grand I think I'd rather have this:
