It looks very european good to see a fresh american design.
The only thing i would change was move the gastank under the frame for lower center point of gravity for better handling.
I wonder of their will be a part 2 video of this when jay has put some more miles on it and everything is breaked in?

I don't care for the front end or exhaust, but otherwise it is a decent looking bike.

Ok
But design wise this a huge step forward.

Is it really? This has been getting done for years. The only difference here is that Leno's bank account allowed him to get them to use higher quality components than say what a Buell would have.

You still aren't telling me how this is a huge step forward. Were you not aware that this has been getting done for some time now?

Yes as a example.

He mentioned them at the end of the video. The one I am most familiar with is Buell.
