U.S. 4,333.00 with a average 60 exchange rate so 2.6 lakes would be 260,000.00 ( in lakes) divide that with the exchange rate which usually fluctuTes between 60 and 63 ( approx )

My mistake, it's 216,000.00 not 260,000as I mistakenly thought, Mattsz number is correct.

I'd sure be nice if they put a blackout motor like that as a option for the C5 military bikes - heck even the regular C5 and B5.

FYI, The real dispatch riders bikes in WWII did not have black engines they were all totally painted same color as the bike. never saw any Camo paint on Brits, only regimental markings etc. some had stove black exhaust & Stove Black Iron jugs.

Black engines may look nice, but my experience with them is that it does not take long for them to turn a spotted gray color. And I don't recall any vintage British bikes with black engines. I like Triumph's new all black T100, but that engine will likely look weathered fairly quickly.

I wouldn't have a black engine myself - I do like to see a clean engine. Black exhaust I can forgive to cover rust, but wrapped exhaust looks way to ratty for me, & experts say it serves no performance purpose.
