Ugh. | ||
| Glitch |
After I posted that in the money no object thread. I saw the bike and owner on Monster Garage last night. Twas only a glimps of the bike, but it sure sounded good! | ||
| Glitch |
Ugh. Guess your too young to be in love with cafe' racers.  But seriously, why ugh? | ||
| R1DynaSquid |
I think its cool. Plus 125 hp never hurts. Big twin with right side drive, doesnt say what trans it has but a six speed would slide right in if its not equipped. | ||
| Deerhunter17 |
think it would get a little HOT under your arse? | ||
| Glitch |
I think it's WAY cool! 6 speed not needed I'm sure. Hot under the @$$. If I could get one (afford one that is) I may just get 'im to make one o' them there Boo Elle type exhaust that goes underneath th' engine. | ||

Dyna it has the Baker DD6 iirc. It would look even sweeter with a nickle plated nine...er I mean frame  | ||
| Coldwthrrider |
That's awesome, the tank and front end look like some of those new Guzzi models they're coming out with to be retro cafe's. I like the chain tensioner....never seen that before! The new V11  | ||

If Buell could ignore noise emissions restrictions, they could create bikes a lot more interesting than that thing, and they'd actually get down the road capably as well. | ||

The frame looks like it is straight off a Sears mini bike. Not even up to the quality of a Rupp. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
The frame is based off the Norton Featherbed design that was used extensively for racing in the 50's-70's. | ||
| Glitch |
If Buell could ignore noise emissions restrictions... If only. I'd love to see what Erik would come up with if given free reign! | ||

Rolling art of a sort. Unique, but not functional. Definitely not a Buell. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Just out of curio...what makes you think its not functional? I have ridden a Norley and though it isn't an XB it did handle very well. | ||
| Stealthxb |
That bike it awesome sans gold glitter paint! | ||
| Blake |
Wycked, Think about it, a big twin hard-mounted to a rather meager/flimsy steel tube frame, low slung clip-ons, longgggg wheelbase, whimpy swingarm. And the mass of header piping on the right side... if you think a Buell can cook your right thigh, can you imagine that thing? | ||
| Blake |
Guess it could be counterbalanced. If not, yikes. | ||
| Rockbiter1 |
its not bad, but i believe the current price is about 45-50K...just a tad out of my price range...ugh... | ||
| Ezblast |
Yeah, but in an XB type setup - could be a lot of fun! GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

Ok this isn't the next Buell, but it floats my boat for sure. http://www.mecatwin.com/en/motos/hd/xlcr/neuf.htm Enjoy. Steve steve_s@ukbeg.com www.ukbeg.com | ||

shakes all u got to do is buy a sportser and put the cafe racer body parts on it (storz i think sells the body parts) | ||
| Darthane |
Well, Glitch, you hit it already..."Ugh" because I'm too young - I missed the whole cafe racer era and the style just never really did anything for me. -=shrugs=- Just a matter of opinion. With that big EVO in it, it should be loads of fun, though! | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
oh wait that place sells the stuff too oops | ||
| Trenchtractor |
Go here to have a look at this bad boy... http://www.rollies.com.au/ Just look in the "kit bikes" section. Yeah, that's right it's a 110ci 6 speeder.  | ||
| Rockbiter1 |
Custom Chrome HR3 BYOB kit...that one is about 14k. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
how about this one....  http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/Harley/kentsalien.html it uses an s&s 100" power plant | ||
| Hogs |
YEah get rid of all that JUNK lower side fairing and show the power plant and that wd. look a whole lot better perhaps..:-) | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
well it was built by a company that makes farings so i dont think that would happen | ||
