Default Now this is right up my alley

http://www.mac-motorcycles.com/story.html

Read about this in Motorcyclist. A fairly new company that has made some bikes based off of the Buell Blast engine. Could be a lot of fun, especially if they can make them really light. One with a 515 or 600cc big bore kit could be really fun. The only thing that worries me is that I might get in random fistfights with guys that drive Vespas with tons of lights on the front

I think this one is my favorite:

the names of the different models are cute. i'd really like to see them imported over here... although i suspect that's a pipe dream at best.

I would be fine with just being able to get a kit and/or just get the parts. Nothing like a good sloper mate.

i emailed them.....I’m really sorry for the delay in replying to your e-mail. We have been inundated with enquiries and good wishes since the launch of our website. We are still a small team so it has taken us a little longer than we expected to reply to each and every one of you, for which we sincerely apologise.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to contact us, we really appreciate your comments and all have been noted. Your feedback is invaluable to us at this stage of our development and we are really very grateful.

We are currently building pre-production prototypes and have begun negotiations with suppliers and manufacturers. We will, of course, keep you updated on our progress.

The price of our motorcycles is not yet fixed, final prices will depend on a combination of factors; volumes in which we manufacture, the specification that customers request, the method of distribution and, most importantly, what customers are prepared to pay. One thing that would really help us right now is to know what you would expect to pay for your preferred model?

This is an extremely exciting time for us at Mac-Motorcycles and we look forward to keeping in touch with you.

Best regards

Miss Tracey Price

The Glamorous Assistant!

I'll have to email them and ask if they plan to only offer production models, or if they are going to sell individual parts and/or kits.
