I love the Idea, I would love to ride one to see what it really can do before I bought though.

<puts down crack pipe and nuclear physics book>
My old Wolverine had no aluminum suspension components, no stupid LED dashboards and had racks, and weighed 480 lbs. The three times that I had it land on me , it hurt me. In a similar situation, a 600 lb bike may have killed or paralyzed me. I did not necessarily want a sport bike (although I like it), but there is NO Freaking way I will buy one of these 600 lb tanks, despite their impressive performance.
A larger cc, more modern (lighter weight) motor, than the 350 Wolverine had, plus aluminum components, should weigh the same or less than 480 lbs, not 600 lbs.
More weight does not mean more durability, more weight means that bigger brakes are needed to stop it, more weight means that a heavier driveline is needed to provide durability, more weight means that a beefier frame is needed, more weight means stronger suspension (more unsprung weight) and on and on and on.
If pure utility is your thing, fine, pile on the weight.
For a performance vehicle, added weight is THE worst thing you can have.
They will sell a ton of these things, but not to me.
