Nope wrong again, so no coconut for you. Don't beleive all that is said in MCN. There is a full blown daytona 1000cc prototype sitting in Hinckley R&D department, lovely looking machine. Would blow the socks of an R1 not only performance but looks too. Pity that after doing their sums there is not a world profitability market for it. Anyway back to the original post, the 1500cc is a chain driven and NOT shaft. The engine is a derivitive of the existing Parallel twin and NOT a cut down triple as you would be lead to beleive. Sorry you fell for MCN scent. As I said it is aimed at the smaller Harley market, the chain driven area. Harley owners will salivate over it.

Watch this space as pictures could be leaked sometime in March 08.
