Considering the alternative is making your own or buying a $50K Factory FTR750 (or winning the Super Hooligans season championship), this would likely sell like hotcakes.  I wonder, if they go to production (and capitalize on the Wrecking Crew's amazing season) how much they will keep of the high level spec parts shown on the Concept bike.  It's pretty light!

That's a great looking bike. Indian seems to have a much better idea of how to build a non-cruiser than Harley (although the XR1400 was pretty sweet).
