All I'm saying is that other people other than Highland have rode the motorcycles and the only quad and they say it is definitely fast. As far as GNCC, forget it. They are a novelty and will have to do a lot of work before they can even think of entering a GNCC. Like you said 2 gallons won't cut it. There is no more room for the tank in the frame they are using.
I just heard from an industry insider that the motor makes the power at a very thin power range. That's maybe how they are able to get close to the numbers suggested.
Steve, I have heard the same thing about the longevity of the motor. Unfortunately, I'll bet it was from the same source as you (and he doesn't like the Highland either). But, I never heard that the Cannondales were holding up, because they were using the Falicon 6mm strokers in the Super Motard bikes and I heard they were not getting 3 races on one crank. Not the Dale's fault though!
There will be an open house in May at the factory. I will keep everyone informed of the exact date and time. I believe they are going to allow some rides as well.
