I like the way that they copied the armored windscreen on the original BF109! Probably not effective until you get behind it at 350mph. I'd like to see it drag race a Triumph dolled up like a Spitfire, or a Harley dressed up like a P-51B!

That is definately a unique bike! If it did come with machine guns, it would be a good commuter ride!
Sometimes I marvel at the time people spend on custom bikes and frankly, most have little appeal to me. That one, however, it not the garden-variety chopper custom we are used to seeing.

The HD guys will never go for it. The P-51 was water cooled !

The P-51 also had a Rolls-Royce "Merlin" engine

Okay,
Let's make everyone happy and race a Harley, with its Siamese connecting rods and external pushrods, armored up like a P-47!
It's a more accurate comparison, since they are mechanically similar and technologically related.

They are more mechanically similar, but, unlike BMW, Harley-Davidson never built airplane engines.

True. But it was built in the US by Packard.
Packard had some history of building V12's btw.

As a side note.
As best i know BMW never built HD's.
But HD did build BMW's in WW2.
The HD XLA was their copy of the BMW R71.
