    That is great, in that is a an American made motor. I hope a bike will follow. I would definitely buy a US made bike if offered. I wish them luck but it will be a hard nut to crack.

    its a great engine and has been evolved from the original Swede engineered design. I nfor one as well as my partners as to how much the powerplant is listed for, of course thats if you buy one.....I wonder what the discount rate is for 100?
    We can build a US made machine, its still really hard to keep the price point competitive.

    Had Cannondale gone with the original design and motor that bike would still be in production, very cool and refined.

    I have been following the story of highland motors for sometime now. Unfortunately its a sad one.
    They were going to start producing bikes and motors early this year, they had a cafe racer style design and an enduro type bike as well. For some reason they decided to drop that idea and stick with just over priced motors.
