this has bugged me for awhile...
So it looks like, if all goes to plan, that the venture will carry on with old generation tech while the new tech vmax is launched. at least for 08..
however, these patent drawings actually seem to indicate the new motor will go into a touring bike at some point.... looks like hard bags and a traditional perimeter frame in the drawings ....
