I don't feel any twisting like you say, but one thing that is weird is when you are stopped and you rev the motor the bike does a side to side pull because of the opposed cylinders. Feels odd when you're used to the V-twin. Heh.. I like Spectre... it almost sounds German... not that I'm limiting to German names. Cool I'll put those on the list. Some other ideas I had: Nova Fritz Dietrich Gus Hagen Otto Messerschmidt oooh "Spitfire" would be cool too! hmmmm this is tough. The shaft drive does feel different for sure.

I was really looking at your pictures. How does the shaft drive feel? My last bike had a shaft drive and getting the rear off was a dream. The only thing I didn't like was when you really cranked down on the powerband the bike felt like it was trying to twist out from under you. Does this bike have the same feel? A name huh? errrr.....Well, when I look at this bike I think a few things. Electric Blue, Out of the Blue, Lightning or Bolt, Storm and lastly Spectre. It ain't my call but that's where my head is at when I look at it. Maybe you should call it the "Bluenami" (Tsunami, just blue) lol! Like I said...I'm not good at this.
