I'm not gonna bash either but I don't see how a few engine changes, a chain drive and a couple other tweaks makes this bike worth $40,000... I doubt Aaron Yates bike costs $40,000 in material- minus the suspension of course. The article said that they are still running Showa.

Shit, if they are competitive, I'll be right there cheering them on with you!!!

All I want is an American company to build a bike that competes with the Japanese makers on equal ground!

I will say one "bashy" thing though, this bike sounds to be almost the same as the bikes competing in Daytona Sport Bike. If so, I think that it's kinda weird. It would be like having a slightly less modified GSXR1000 in that class.
