US motorcycle company... Highland Motorcycles... No more?

I was looking forward to seeing what they were coming up with and am so sorry to hear about the tragedy. I heard about the crash on the news but never connected the two until I got my last issue of Motorcyclist.

Mine is already rotting in the bin... all harley content and no less than THIRTEEN consecutive pages of icon ads. I mean its no secret that rags like mc test with the almighty advertising dollar but this issue was so explicitly bad I was angry the greedy fuckers didn't fold a few twentys in with the renewal cards. I get it for free and I feel like they should pay me to read it

I actually enjoyed the Cal Rayborn and XRTT Team Obselete articles. The Bagger tests and Icon ads I could do without.

I was glad to see Aprilia offering a full blown WSBK replica for just 63,000. I would love to spank a Desmodici at a track day on one...Or own a club race.

For just 63k

it would be cool to see. I have seen a few desmodeccis and MV agustas at the track. Its fun passing them on my lowly under 10k gsxr

I had never heard of this company but a couple of the street bikes looked kinda cool.

Just $63,000 but it has the entire Aprilia race kit catalogue. From the 16.5 in wheels to all the kit engine internals. Compare that to a real WSBK bike or even the Desmodici and it is a bargain. I am certain I could have an American Superbike prepped GSXR1000 or R1 for close to that price so, for an off the shelf, it is pretty damn special.

And yeah, I have passed some pretty special bikes on my almost stockers too, so I can imagine what kind of awesome I could uncork with $63,000 worth of superman juice...
