They really need to stop looking at what Kawasaki is doing...as well as KTM  | ||
| S320002 |
Agreed on both points. But this photo brings a thought to mind. It is really easy to change the look of the XB because the bodywork consists of only a few plastic covers. Hmmm... | ||
| Spooky |
ouch!!!!!! My ass is killing me just looking at it. | ||
| Buckinfubba |
If I had a reason to believe that some one would ever put that out to the public well.... I'd have to shoot them and put them down like a lame horse | ||
| Dynarider |
I think its kinda cool looking. Gives it a real futuristic look. | ||
| Freyke |
It looks like a ZOID......  ... kk//kef | ||
| M1combat |
Hmmm, I like the fly-screen, but the rest is a bit too much... | ||
| Boulderbiker |
question is, if Buell had originally released that design instead of what it did, would you guys have been this hard on it.  Personally I think its kinda cool, not that I don't love my firebolt just the way it is, but I'd like that one too. | ||
| Austinrider |
That a firebolt or a lightning? Somebody playing with photoshop? Notice the ignition location, mirrors and front bug screen - all XBxS The seat/trunk - XBxR.... | ||

Personally, I am more fond of smooth flowing lines, on any bike, than the "sharpness" of more recent bikes... | ||

It's the LightningBolt XB12RS... It's was done with sketches, then scanned, then used a picture of the XB without the plastic, then the scanned sketches were scaled down and applied as a layer, the background is just one of the sketches of the flyscreen as the thing evolved... I think it's kinda cool. Kinda, as in a different look then what the XB looks like now. I really don't care for the "sharpness" either, if I did I may have ended up with an SV1000S. | ||

The sharp edges and flat planes bring to mind the F-117 Stealth fighter. | ||
| Gonen60 |
is that "Judge Dredds" Bike? It's awful looking, it's lost all it's straight forward, Get right to the point, toughness.. | ||
| Jim_m |
nah, this is Dredd's bike...more of a recumbant (sp?)  | ||
| Stot |
Looking at it first name that came to mind was XB9Z Just flatten off that sternum rest a wee bit.  Cya Stot | ||
| Spike |
It's strange, but I like it better than the new naked KTM. The fully-faired RC8 is pretty cool though. Mike L. '04 XB12R (1650 miles) | ||
| Bigdaddy |
I'm real boring and I only like black bikes and smooth lines, but that bike is cool. Greg | ||
| Trusty748 |
I like it too - as S320002 said - like a stealth fighter. Mind you - will need to do something about the noise for that to be really true! | ||
| Stot |
Like leave the STD zorst on??  Cya Stot | ||
| Freyke |
OK, what's with the "eyebrow" thingys?... it looks like the "Andy Rooney/Jeff Gordon:" special.... Just MHO... FWIW.... kk//kef kk//kef | ||
| Glitch |
"eyebrow" thingys I dunno, maybe the artist is japanese... Kinda looks anime ... | ||
| Freyke |
Glitch, All-rite, what b "anime"?.... kk//kef | ||
| Freyke |
it still looks like a ZOID. I don't care what you say....HMMMPHHHH! | ||
