CM posted another picture of one of the engines (ignore the red nose): http://yfrog.com/f/h4ih53j/It's black in between the ribs and looks nice, even if it has chrome tops. I wish he could post another picture of that semi black engine, but without the Rudolf cap. And apparently they're aiming for a 400 mile/640km range with the 9 gallon/42L tank. Not perfect, but should make it possible to tour with it without any problems.

http://www.sscycle.com/feature/featureview.php?s_id=17Link above should take you to range of engines. From what I understand ths engine is somewhat more powerful than the 1800 HD. Something around 115bhp compared to 100bhp. What a shame... Cheers

Not perfect, but should make it possible to tour with it without any problems. I get about 225 miles On a single tank in the Aero and toured aplenty? I would like to stop less in the aero as it's one of the most comfortable cars to drive I've ever had (once I'm in  ) did nearly 1000 miles in a day with only a few splash'n'dashes and I really didn't feel like I've done anything like that distance. I can't imagine the 3W being as easy/comfortable nor able to average 100mph on a dash back so maybe the range wont be an issue  Thanks for the SS links y'all (see what I did there  )
Cheers

It will certainly not be as comfortable as your Aero, but I gather it will be better than standing on pegs and straddling an engine all day long.

Graham - Don't the use of the S&S engine over the use of the HD engine remove your fears for vibrations from the HD V twin?

I understood they are marine style and manufactured. Hence water proof etc.
