Harley Davidson sportster s is in another level but that Janus is my pick
HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER S.
ZERO FXE.
INDIAN FTR.
I like Buell hammerhead.
the Arcimoto Roadster design lacks (not the engineering part) innovation & flair one might expect from trikes . . . other than that it's nice package altogether . . . the European market will love this trike, Arcimoto might end up selling more of this trike in the EU than their own home market . . .
Wheres the Confederate? Isnt it American?
buell hammer head a ducati norte americana.
sportster really got ugly
2nd
