I would definitley go for a Highland or Fisher. I really want to endurance race a Fisher in Lightweight against the SVs!
I have no use for the Roehr or Confederate.

I was reading about Fischer, and how he originally wanted a Rotax liter engine, but has settled for a Korean carbed engine. The Highland 1050 would be perfect for the original MRX1000 concept. Then you'd have the choice of anything from a 650 to a 950 for an intermediate. The Spondon frame on the Viking is sexy, but other than that their street bikes are really slapdash looking.

And you would lose. The fischer is a really expensive Hyosung, and the fit and finish is terrible. I have seen Big Mac cartons that were put together more solidly.

There were 3 of them and they were "sponsored" by UM (Hyosung). They liked the bikes and said the reliability was as good as the Jap bikes they had prior.

The Hyonsungs are not bad. I would put them below Japanses bikes, but the Fischer is just crap. It looks like it was assembled in the backroom of Kmart by some pimply faced one armed teenager on his first day of work.
