That think looks awesome. If it's won every race it must be awesome.

The price is way to awesome for my blood.

Actually, I stand corrected, Briar Bauman won the Lima Half Mile riding a Kawasaki. Brad Baker was right behind him on the first Indian.

not sure the price on building a custom bike that the rest of the crowd is running but it would seem that the price indian is asking it's too bad. I've looked over the factor indian bikes and if it's similar (carbon stuff, custom machined parts, suspension, motor, etc) that's really not that bad of a deal.

It'll be interesting next year to see if there are more indians on the grid, or even more Harleys on the grid. At daytona you saw the indian logo/branding all over, as well as the new HD 750G info. given the HD performance the first few rounds, doubt if HD will be selling many of their bikes to the public. The old XR750's were beating the new bikes pretty soundly as they had a lot of mechanical DNF's.

Rumour has it that 35 bikes have been sold.
Wish there was an affordable street legal version.
