A solution for the motorcycle wars ?

Question

http://www.x-wedge.com/rucker.htm

what do you think its a cross over v twin / crotch rocket ?

Answer 1

the only solution to this p**s and moan war,is to bring the sniper riders to johnny's place ,and we can use them for target practice

Answer 2

an s&s twin will still catch too much flack from the japp crowd.... they'd pick it apart without knowing a thing about it as well.... if they'd only try the good stuff, poor schmoes don't know what they're missing

Answer 3

Sure, a bike both camps can hate.  The worst of each world.  No thanks.  If you just gotta have a vtwin, Ducatti.

Answer 4

I think Mr. Rucker should have stuck to hot rods.

Simply because you can't cool an air-cooled motor when you cover it in plastic that directs the air around instead of through. I like a V-twin. I like chain final drives. I don't see any other good points. It's a drag bike, nothing more.

Answer 5

Looks like wanna be V-Rod

Answer 6

still too much plastic on it

Answer 7

Its just another attempt to get some speed out of an antique engine design.

Answer 8

people been doin stuff like that for ages. its just a vtwin with a sporty lookin body. nothin special. and all that engine is, is the good ole american vtwin engine evolving.

Answer 9

Its called a Ducati.

Answer 10

I like it, but i'm afraid most of the sport bikers that are used to their weed eater powerbands, couldn't handle the x-wedge.

Answer 11

its a drag bike, too low to go around corners. Look at  footrest position, maybe 6"~8" off the ground and oo far back to enable more than a couple of miles use

HD style engine by S&S

Quality is as good or better than HD in my experience.

pointless exercise as far as I'm concerned, 117cu/in-(approx 1950cc), probably around 140bhp, or about the same as a Japanese 750 or 1980's 1000cc bike.

Looks like a short fork chopper with bunch of panels to hide stuff

Answer 12

some of those little beaches could not handle a bike like that

Answer 13

It looks ridiculous. It tries to be both and ends up being neither. Sorry, but Buell did it better.

What war are you talking about?
