There are pictures of a new V-twin gator from Dan Gurney over at ADVrider.

Looking at the rear cylinder head all I think is singing "chestnuts roasting on the open fire".

I was really hoping gurney would build a 'gator with a bigger multicyl engine....this isnt exactly what I had in mind though.

The rear subframe looks heavy, like something off a towtruck.

That looks like shit.

Huge amount of Fabrication skills there. The skills to build that frame are second to none.

Swingarm looks longer than a stretched "Busa and where is Larry with his tape measure????

It may just be the picture but it looks about three feet longer than the Ducati in the Background.

Ironically enough, Gurney came up with the recumbent riding position as a way to fit his 6' 4" frame onto a sportbike. The low seat is really good for shorter riders, but the reach to the bars is so far, you need long arms if you want to lean against the back of the seat at all.

This poor guy loved the bike but was almost folded in half to reach the bars:

A classic case of "an answer to a question nobody asked"....

I assumed wrongly that the H-D Gator was already in production b/c Dan proposed it at least 5 years ago ! But looks like it's an on going project . Would work well at a tractor pull contest .
