from the side, it sure looks like it was conceived out of a pen stroke. at the heart of this 660 lbs (299 kg) two-wheeler is a US-made 45-degree V-twin unit pumping out 100 horses, mated to a six-speed gearbox (five plus overdrive) that’s capable of making over 130 mph (210 km/h), while still achieving a fuel economy of 70 mpg. no specifics were offered with regards to the availability and pricing, but Lauge Jensen indicated that they will build the Viking-based bike at higher volumes, which they expect to come with a lower price tag than the company’s €43,800 Great Dane.
