I found this photo on the net, with the only caption "BT Hill Sprinter". I know it's not a Buell, but... |

Built in the UK in a guys garage. It is based on GP250 size specs for the simple fact that someone said he couldn't...gee doesn't that sound familiar? IIRC he started it just after Sundance H-D built their version of Lucifers Hammer with Over Racing. |

I posted pics and info of that British built special on BadWeB a couple of years or so ago. Do a search. If I remember correctly the guy who built it is or was a Formula 1 race mechanic. It's also in a book or magazine, or both, that I have tucked away somewhere. Maybe Streetfighters magazine and their great hardback publication by the same title. Rocket |

Imagine how conflicted the HOG riders would be if Buell built a version of this. |

Thanks for all the background info guys. I'm new to all this Harley/Buell sportbike stuff. I see now, it's nothing new. Sorry for the rehash. I'll just stick with the singles from now on. -Joe D. |

Paddy Hook was the guys name, if I remember correctly. I have a feature of the machine in an old Streetfighters mag. Very cool. It weighs around 385lbs and makes 115RWHP. |

The top pic there reminds me of the Goodman Harley, if that's his name. Again, another mad cap Brit! Rocket |
