I'm not sure of all the details but the motors are 250cc, don't know if they manufacture the engines themselves or if they're bought from one of the big companies

Pretty cool. You can check out their bike models here: www.clevelandcyclewerks.com/bikes/

What's interesting to me is the idea of an affordable, all purpose bike that average people can work on. Sounds like exactly what drew me to my KZ.

Yea, I like the idea, but 12hp is really kind of absurd. Surely they can get more than that out of a 250. Otherwise though, I love the idea of the affordable, easy to maintain motorcycle. If they get one with a little less chrome, and a little more power, I'd probably go for it.

For about 3 grand you can get a ZRX1100 in good condition.

yes, for sure, but the other one is more doable at $3k.
