then it would no longer be a 7K bike and would price out many new riders.it
is slotted inbetween Harleys 500 and 750 entrys.indian went with 1000 cc's
but at a cost of 11K.

I see a great market for this bike in the beginners and for smaller people. I think it is nice looking, and the 650 twin is a bulletproof motor. All the adjustability is a great feature, and again points towards the market of smaller people. 3.7 gallons might sound small, but at 50 mpg, which should be easy to hit on the highway, it means you have a realistic range of 150 miles, and lets face it, the average motorcyclist isn't going to be pulling 200 mile legs, they will be ready to stop by 100.

Just might get one for my girl in a couple years...she has to beat up the old 500 Vulcan LTD first...
