I was surfing Cragslist and found this gem Its a "kustom "Buell for you old school lovers .. its not mine  | ||
| 01x1buell |
if you are asking for opinions mine is that i do not like that bike at all . i would say much more but i can not on this forum.... actually it sucks..that is just my opinion. you may like it thats your opinion. | ||

I would love to know the equation the seller used to figure out the worth of this heap... Old sporty motor with lightning heads $1800 rolling hard tail chassis mayyybe $2000.... and lets charge $4000 for armpit dryers,cheap cycle shack pipes,cheap seat and a peanut tank... Some peoples children eh? | ||

But why call it a Buell? That's like sticking a Z06 motor in a go-kart and calling it a vette. The motor is important but it doesn't make the bike. I want to put an X1 motor in my sportster but that won't make it a Buell, just a Harley with Horsepower. | ||

bike looks like crap , shame they messed up a beautiful buell for that garbage. | ||

Littlebuggles, You know you like it you THUG!! | ||
| Hellraged |
i bet a loser that wears dasiey dukes rides this with flipflops and a tank top lol he is *thug*!! i might put that on my S1!! rofl sorry just cant get over how ugly that looks and for that price!?!/ dont think he will get over 2k for it might aswell take the engine out and just sell that prob. get more for it lol | ||

I had a chopper so I appreciate that someone wanted to build something different. There are not shortage of Sportster engines to use instead of butchering a Buell. The relatively low numbers of Tubers that exist should be treated with some reverence. No one would do that to a Vincent | ||

Im wondering if they are calling it a Buell because of the VIN, its possible they used the Buell vin to register it and thats why they now call it that. Thats the only thing I can figure | ||
| Hellraged |
the black one does look cool, alot better than the first one :P | ||

Matt Hotche built the black one and was inspired by a Vincent. He said that he wouldn't dare do that to a real one. he spent $100,000 to have the motor built alone. it was his tribute to a classic. | ||
| Eshardball |
OMG. I stand corrected. The 2nd one is however a work of art despite the choice of donor bike | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
he spent $100,000 to have the motor built alone." Holy crap, I cant imagine spending that much money on a motor and not really doing anything with it/not riding it. But hell, I'll likely never pay even half that for a bike WITH motor. | ||

| 01x1buell |
i love my x1 but that bike sucks in my opinion. | ||
| Mmcustoms |
Ouch why do you think this bike sucks | ||
| 01x1buell |
i know that was harsh,, i just do not like the lights and i do not like that color.. i am sure some people do not like my bike either. i wouild post a pic but i do not have one on hand.. yet again it is just my opinion and that does not really matter everyone. | ||
| 01x1buell |
i can say one thing nice i do love the black on it. i am changing mine to black this winter. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
I'd like to see more pics of that, I'd not seen a CR light on a tuber before | ||
| Flyingfinn |
I wonder what it rides like? I have never ridden anything like that. | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Not diggin on the X1 linked above either. That headlight makes the front end look HUGE. I think even Tool1 would agree with that. The second chopper is amazing, glad it didn't use a Vincent motor, but the cost, wow!!! | ||
| S1owner |
Its all relative Matt hotch/hot match design only builds one bike at a time and is in huge demand he has created his empire. I am from mpls area its not the water the cold freezes our brains! (Message edited by s1owner on June 20, 2011) | ||

The second one reminds me of a Mac but bigger and badder. Have any of you guys seen these guys designs. Pretty sweet for a lil thumper. http://www.mac-motorcycles.com/spud_black.html | ||

im liking the pea shooter from that mac motorcycle ppl :P | ||

for the most part i like all bikes. i just don't like it when a perfectly good bike is chopped up into a shadow of its former glory. if you want to build a chopper/ custom buell do it to one that is already met its maker. my S1W was wrecked badly twice by its former owner. my original plan was take the motor and build a nice bobber. but once i had it at home and took a good look i discover most of the damage was cosmetic. so i brought it back from the grave and i haven't regretted it for a second. a good ol tuber is just to good to let die. | ||

Re: kustom buell. Help, I can't see! My eyes, my eyes! | ||
| Psykick_machanik |
NOW THATS WHAT THE BLAST SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE!!!! im so glad their are creative people out there making bikes like that. my hats off to any one who builds/customes a bike regardless if its a Vincent or Vespa. | ||
| Flyingfinn |
A blast In a Flat Track frame is tempting after seeing that | ||

The 'kustom Buell' wouldn't be so bad if it had a fat front tire/wheel, and lose the dopey handlebars. Matt Hotch has really come up in the world, he started as a near penniless LA teen building bikes, and now spends $100,000 on a motor? "Hot Match" indeed. |
