[QUOTE="andrew peters, post: 165801, member: 3776"] Shame so many people are looking at this bike just as another motorcycle 'competing' in a market with 'regular' or even old bikes. Personally I think it's a work of art and that's a big part of its appeal. Perhaps in the spirit of George Broughs bikes the new Dagger would simply be a collection and assemblage of the best proprietary parts available but than they would just end up with a Ducati ? The Idea of the design, I should imagine, is to 'engineer' or maybe over-engineer the Best possible Design, even though that can appear 'Form over Function'... but it's probably Very functional, as the designer imagined. And the designer is no doubt (in my mind) an Artist! A tired argument in biker circles is Sport Bike verses Harley, but no-one compares a Sportscar to a Rolls Royce! The New Brough can/should only be compared to similar machines, (New) Ariels, Arch Motorcycles and Curtis (formally but not politically correctly named Confederate, Haha) Those bikes are similar in design and outrageous price tag and I'd say obviously marketed to the man with money and already with a garage full of far more practical forms of transport. And of course there's the already touched on. Price Tag!
