I like it. But it needs at least another 150 cc. I’m still waiting on the BSA single maybe it will be a 441 cc , I could live with a 441. The Meteor has nice shapes and lines , nice bike.

Not just Wahinis either:

Lewis is National #10. He would be a legit contender for the championship in the Production Twins class, but he doesn't run all the races. He owns a track in Florida where he runs a flat track racing school.

RE seems to be serious about this.

Most of the races mentioned in the article didn't happen because of covid unfortunately, and one of them was rained out. Lewis only got to ride the bike a couple of times right at the end of the season.
