WTH is this SAMCO? no copyright or patent infringement?

Century Arms? I thought they got sued into bankruptcy?














Normally I'm the one with random angry posts, glad you're here too

haha, naw, not SAMCO Global, check out SAMCO motorcycle, looks like an XB and Tuber in one!

Interesting.
It is like a tuber.

Is that an XB front pulley cover on it????

 

[Sirius815]

Oil cooler and VR are mounted exactly like an XB as well....and that back end looks like doodoo. I'm not impressed.

Ya, looks like someone made a tube frame and swingarm for an XB motor assembly, and of course... no price:down:

Where's the oil tank?

Also, the whole 'Made in America' is ridiculous when it's taken that far, and impossible to achieve 100%. I'm all about supporting local business and local people, but it's a world economy now, get over it.

Yep, just like I thought. A guy had one bike built for himself with a used Buell powertrain, and justified the cost (to his wife:black_eyed by trying to get rich by selling copies. I'd respect it much more if he at least built it himself. It's pretty easy to get a legit manufacturers license and be able to stamp vin#'s.




I'd buy a copy of Pur Ponys first:love_heart:

If he's going to do this why not approach EBR and build a roadster since he's borrowed components? Switch out the HD based Thunderstorm with S&S or Victory for that matter for an engine supplier? See if there is interest. Then at it would be something of substance instead of some cobbled tuber wannabe. I can appreciate the passion and enthusiasm, but let's be real. That is basically a Buell wannabe.

I don't think EBR does anything except 1190's. The old stock 1125's went in the auction, and they haven't done a 1203 since 2010.
