Found this on a ducatimonster website. From an intern working at HD. Quote "FINALLY!! I cant even begin to express the amount of self controll it took for me not to tell you guys about this thing! The engine is a Rotax V-twin, it at least looks similar to the one in the 'priller mille. The styling is a bit off in my opinion, but what can you expect from buell? If its still in the same state as i saw it, it will have digital guages, turn signals in the mirrors, dual radiators on the sides (ala superhawk) behind 2 huge scoops that dont quite match up the upper fairing (looks weird in person) and no clip ons... the handlebars are part of the triple clamp (all one big peice of aluminum). The rearsets are the mounting bracket for the drive belt tensioner pully, which means aftermarket peices will be a bit trickey. They did away with the oil in the swingarm (thank god, it was a horrible idea if you ask me). The hydrolic clutch felt really heavy. According to what i gatherd from the drivetrain guys the engine makes TONS of power, the limiting factor was emissions, so im guessing some re-tuning will open up even more power. There was also problems with the oil level, supposodly there are so many nooks and cranys in the engine that the oil level readings were very sparratic, the measure on the dipstick would change by a quart or two randomly. The brakes were even bigger than the standard XB units, the wheels appeared to still be the same units (but they were already some of the best out there). Soooo... thats about all i can remember for now, besides that the riders thought it was f**k**g AWESOME." www.ducatimonster.org/smf/index.php?topic=865... | ||

Soooo... thats about all i can remember for now, besides that the riders thought it was f**k**g AWESOME." The moniker IS "Built from the rider down." 'Nuff said. |
