I'd still buy a K1300r, faster, cheaper. Still don't have enough cash to buy one of those either.

And....It's hand built, Made in England, Gorgeous, and up to modern standards.
Does that answer it? They could have done it on the cheap and had it made in asia. They could have cut corners and kept the price down. But they didn't. They are doing it right. Why would anyone ride a vintage commando when they could ride a vintage honda?
