The Other Mac Guy
Jul 29th, 2009 by Leo
The beauty of the Ipod was that it was simpler than the other mp3 players that came before it, it did what it was made to do…well, with simplicity and style. The Flip video recorder took the same idea and applied it to a flash memory based video camera. When will someone do this for the humble motorcycle? A simple no frills bike that GOes… and looks and sounds good while doing it, without breaking the bank? Harley’s too enamored with its “classic” status (and Buell is too busy trying to cleverly reinvent the motorcycle). The sportbike makers are too busy bringing their race bikes to the street. But what about a best-bike that anyone could love?
The Mac may be it. It has the naked looks and handling that sportbikers can love. A thumper engine and chrome exhaust that classic bike lovers can accept, as well as a British/American pedigree. It’s also light enough, low enough, and sensibly powered enough for new riders as well as zippy enough to make seasoned riders smile. Read more about it on their site. And tell us what you think: could this be the One?
The only downside which I can’t seem to find on their site is the price. It looks like it’s set for $10k+ for starters. For that I’ll buy a left over ‘08 liter bike and run figure eights around this British upstart. All of a sudden the Monster 696 looks like a real economy bike. But the Mac, she sure is pretty.
