That has to be the ugliest place i have ever seen an oil tank placed...can you el cheapo looking. The seat looks amazingly uncomfortable and cheap as well. Pretty much looks like an el cheapo home built job.

Thats been around for a while. It been in a little 1"x2" ad in the back of most HD oriented mags for at least 4 years.

Too long...too much rake... and is it brown?

How about something with OTHER than an air-cooled, push-rod V-twin??

Some guys in germany did that about 10 years ago. We, the US, make them and europe spanks our ass in making them cool/racial. The french have some of the sweetest sportsters and buells i have ever seen.

strange that there is no mention of the make of engine although it can be only one. also such a clever idea to block airflow to an aircooled engine with an oil tank

It's a kit bike,you use a big twin engine.I doubt that oil tank blocks any more air than the front wheel and fender.

The learning curve is steep.

Looks to be the 1995 portion of the Buell curve (and sliding backward).

Mechanically, I'm sure it's awesome! Just not fond of the styling.
