At 673 pounds, one imagines this long-wheelbase go-bot to be daunting, but Travert has worked magic with the chassis. With a low center of gravity, aided by a 2-into-1 cropped exhaust and load distributed to the extremities, the V-Rex feels light at rest. At speed it glides through corners, soaks up unfriendly pavement, makes U-turns with no worries, and stops crisply. The V-Rod motor never lets you forget this its heritage. Christian knows well that engine mods and Screaming Eagle kits will be the order of the day for V-Rex buyers as they personalize their new steed
.

The Hollywood fantasy factory has already gotten wind of Christian's creation—offers are multiplying for the bike to make its big screen debut. Those who have secretly wished their custom motorcycles be fashion-forward can now breathe easy. Seeing the spectators salivate over the V-Rex at the most recent California Bike Week, and the resulting sales of this new extremist, one senses Travertson's time has come.
