    It’s made by an American company called Ecosse. This model is the Heretic Ti and has a supercharged 131ci V twin (Ecosses own engine).

    I think it looks the nuts but at $139,800 is a tad out of my price range – even with the weak dollar.

    Man of few words as ever Mr Sidevalve. Thought you may like this one, it’s got no ‘puffy fairing’ and has a bit of poke. Still no good?

    I myself aint much on the crotch rockets, but it looks pretty cool-the price range is UN***kin’ real! Gimme a break, who but the stupid filthy rich would spend that much on THAT?

    It does not have a supercharger, at least not in that picture.
    The company are an arrogant bunch of elitist to55ers, the frame design is poo and they couldn’t style a tin of beans.

    : )

    It’s just that I have followed the progress of that company since about 2005… their attitude really is elitist, as if they have invented God’s bike or something. Put it up against a Tuono and the mass market bike will wipe it’s a55 on the Ecosse in every area of performance, reliability, comfort, etc. .

    I guess that I just don’t like their over-hyped attitude.

    Actually I forget (…must be my age…). It was always going to be a limited edition job.

    I don’t know how companies with no history and no apparent long term plan, virtually no USP, and poor value-for-money ever get the financial backing?

    But anyway, leaving aside my personal bias and prejudices, the more variety in the market the better, so maybe I should wish them a begrudging ‘good luck’.

    Mind you, if the I had to make a choice of Harley-powered sports bikes I would personally opt for a Wakan:

    Not entirely sure, but I do like the minimalist and functional edge to the look of the bike. Never heard them before TBH

    I only came across them by casual browsing on https://thekneeslider.com/ .
    Good luck to them all.

    Yep more variety and choice in the biking world can only be a good thing.
