love the model, ever since it's been on the drawing table...would do a little engine change and get the 650 engine on there :p
 
Lefox, that's what I'm talking about a little swaparoony would make this bike perfect small bike, flickable, and good power. Makes me wonder if they made it with this in mind, maybe its motor mounts mimic one of its bigger brothers!

I don't remember which of the articles it was, but one of them said it was designed around a bigger motor. Either way, I'd love to see it with real power, but the thing I love about the bike is it's 280lb wet weight. If sticking in a 650 motor means beefing everything up and tacking on an extra 100lbs I don't think I'd be as interested. I'd still love the bike more than just about every other 600-1000cc bike out there, but I really like the idea of a mini city cruiser, geared low so I can back it in around tight corners and do some wheelies when I don't have the space to get my bike over 20mph. If they went for a bigger motor, I'd say instead of something with real HP, maybe just something big enough to let your gear it tall enough to cruise on the highway a few miles, keep up with real traffic, but still be able to do a wheelie or 2 in 1st gear. I'd be pretty pleased if it would keep up with an ex250.
