    V-Twin? Must have been a Harley guy in the wood pile. Should have put in power. More cylinders.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    I think the video mentioned 200 hp so the power is there. What is not there is the smoothness, comfort, and versatility of the F6B

    200horsepower? Just what type of V-twin do they plan on using? cuz thought I seen an old Panhead in that clip. Couldn't hardly understand what the little girl voice was saying.

    200 hp, would be nice but keeping it together and reliable, in a V twin, would be the thing.

    Thanks for the inspiration. Lotus has always has been very progressive in design with beautiful livery colors. I wouldn't doubt for a minute that Lotus is developing a fuel cell car or bike. The V twin is simply for body design working models. IMO

    British Racing Green and tan seats...that's the color I'd go for on the F6B.

    What does the B stand for? B-Courteous. B-Safe. B-Seen.....B-CNU on the road!

    Actually John Deere did call and ask where the mower deck is located.
