    Ohhhhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! I could like that in my garage. I looked, but did not see a price listed. I believe regular T-Rex's sell in the $60,000 range. Wonder how much this puppy, with the BMW engine goes for?

    A little off topic--but BMW related. I read an article on 10 cars you must wait for yesterday. One of the cars featured was an electric BMW that will go a whole 20 miles (Yes, not a typo--twenty miles) before the three cylinder eco engine kicks in. I believe they said it would 0-60 in about 4 seconds. Cost-- a paltry $150,000. It also had some wonderful looks to it.

    Unhijak: and back to the original thread.

    Rawwarrrrr!! But you'd think they'd replace the Givi side cases with something upmarket from BMW at least.

    That's the ACE; a replica of the Morgan...
    And they're built up near Seattle. (I think!)

    I remember my dad had a Morgan like this with a bloody great big V-twin with exposed valve gear.....can't remember clearly but I think the engine was by Matchless.

    I think that they use Harley-power in these replicas.

    I know BRP makes some of the BMW motors--at least I heard that. Does anyone know if BRP makes the T-Rex motor?

    As far as I know, the company that makes the T-Rex uses Kawasaki motors and they have a different model that uses the Harley-Davidson V-Rod motor.

    Well, I just check the link provided and it seems that Campagna does use BMW motors for one of their model, no idea who actually makes them.
