In February I posted Gregg Desjardins' GC1000 which made quite a buzz in the motorcycle industry. The only problem was people were calling it an Honda RC-51 custom. It's not like you call a Buell a Harley or a West Coast Chopper an SS.
Enter the Helion. It has a Yamaha V-Star Warrior engine yet almost everything else is hand built by Gregg. Gregg's goal is form and function and it shows.
