          I'm not into it.

          It looks to me like artisanal motorcycles for hipsters. But I can't deny hipsters the right to ride what they want.

            I dig them, but way too pricey. I tried to get something going with National Cycles, but they didn't want to sell the bikes, it's more about the accessories(apparel). Well I tried to pull up their site, but it is nowhere to be found. For the 2014 AIMEXPO They were using 49cc engines like you put in bicycles, looks like a blast compared to a scooter if you don't have a license to drive.

              For that price with a Chinese clone engine... Nah.

              Ambitious, I'm sure they will sell to a few saps but I don't really know who they are marketing this to...

              Like Bob said... If I had $6600 I would not pay for that.

              My TUX250 brand new was nearly $3K cheaper...

                Thanks for the new word-“artisanal”. Maybe pronounced artis-anal?
                The 2 dudes proudly holding their bikes look more dweeb than hipster, but my roots are urban industrial.
                To me, that front suspension construct looks way too loose for a fast lean in corner.
                Probably chosen because the original patent expired long ago.

                  I think Leno featured these on his Youtube channel.

                  Not my thing, but pretty cool for a teen. But yeah, way too expensive.

                    I don't know man these guys seem to be the definition of a bad A$$ biker... Ripping it up on a custom machine.

                    Definitely want him on my side in a bar fight....

                        I love these. Totally unique styling, proven motor, 2 radically different choices. I wish them the best.

                          Way too much money, but it would be fun putting around on empty country roads.

                            don't understand the animosity on here towards the guys in the pics. Bar fights? Really? I mean, who really cares what you look like, if you are on 2 wheels and a motor you are ok by me. I'm sure "real bikers" chuckle at your TUX. sheesh.

                              They have Put I just BRAAAAAPPP!

                              Chuckles almost always turn to jaw drops and a request to ride the bike.

                              LOLOLOL

                              I mean come one... If I bought that bike (never would because it's way over priced and under powered... Even to 250 standards) I would be doing something like in the pic above to show case if it truly was "cool".

                              The Bar fight remark was an attempt at an exaggerated sarcastic joke. Which I guess, I only found humorous...

                              Just sayin'. The guys (gals) that buy these must have a butt load of extra coin to spend or have no sense of value to money or Has no experience in purchasing a good valued MC.
