Bike of the Month for April 2000
Ah, the return of the Douglas fore and aft flat twin. And why not? It's as smooth as a BMW,
but with the narrowness of a Sportster. But won't it be too long? Not if you tilt the back
of the engine up to about 15° so you can fit the transmission underneath. Clever and simple.
It's a new from the ground up motorcycle that should appeal to a broad range of riders. I
have great hopes for this company. I admire anyone trying to make their own motorcycle,
using original ideas and proprietary engines. This one should be in production soon. Let's
hope so.
