I'm speechless.

I read the 950cc v-twin is 150hp. I realize the price is terrible, but 150hp in a 268lb bike is going to be retardedly fast. Apparently Highland signed some deal with a "major OEM" to remarket some of these bikes under the OEM brand. It will be interesting to see what happens.

It is sad.  The leadership team was lost.  I hope they can recover and keep the factory open.  Seems like a long shot coming out with a high end line of motorcycles in this economy.  They are just an hour and half drive from me.
