@yourleftnut1 Ain't a cookie cutter Jap bike. Great, because some people don't like to ride the same shit as everyone else.

@JDSFLA We can only hope . It would have been better all around I think if they had just built the bike Erik Buell himself admitted they should have been building. I'm speaking of the Barracuda Model which looked more like a conventional sport bike but had enough Buell signature traits that everybody would know exactly what it was, A True American engineered Sport Bike. That bike may have spooked H-D leading them to believe that it would out sell any of its more modern models namely the V-Rods.

@WatchToddPattison He had to sign a one year non-compete contract with H-D and until the year is up he is confined to his race bike business. I'm hoping that he will soon get involved with street bikes again soon - maybe with Polaris who wanted to buy Buell from H-D, but H-D prefered to kill the deal and destroyed the dozen motorcycles built to succeed the 1125R.

THOSE INTAKES!?!?!?!?! So fucking dumb looking. The whole bike looks like something from the 80's just dumb. Love that buell is going with Rotax though....

trash

"First of a series we'll see over the next comming years" Yeah thanks HD!
I don't know why Mr. Buell doesn't just go it alone with the engines he designed with Rotax . He already has a loyal following and an established Brand name . Screw Harley Davidson !

You know.... you can always tell a squid when they start quoting stats. +95% of all sport bikes never even see a track. (according to Kawasaki's figures) And the slight performance differences in almost any sport bike (even 3-4 year old ones) are really only noticable when racing at a track. Who cares if this bike or that bike is a couple of 10th's faster here or there? Besides, ultimate performance wasnt the reason behind the Buell's design anyway.
