Anybody know anything about this bike or design group?

Curious who is funding them and what they are all about.

Dunno anything about them. Judging by the pics, though, looks like a Buell XB9/12 knockoff?

Their new website isn't helpful - yet: http://roninmotorworks.com/

I've seen one of their bikes at the Walnut room. They are located in that area from what I've head. Its a pretty good looking motorcycle based off of the buell.

If I remember correctly they are taking orders, but they are pretty expensive.

I'm glad to see a company like this in Colorado. :D

Hunwick Hallam tried the radiator up front thing in their 170hp superbike, it didn't work. I also know the test rider of the Drysdale V8 superbike (both Australian designed/produced) which was basically 2 FZR400's on a common crank, he used to crash it or blow it up on purpose so he didnt have to ride it anymore :lol:
