The Buellish brakes are just about the only thing that would work on that thing. It looks like an artist conception of a bike by an artist that doesn't have any concept of how a motorcycle works. An 8 pot rear brake? For what? Rear suspension? Does the front have any travel? Is that a 0.5 gallon gas tank? Where is the airbox? My X1 has more wind protection. I'm with Bill, it looks like you'd slide/blow right off the thing. Perhaps I'm missing the point of the drawing? |

Its neat that Buell can influence or inspire others. They are pushing the envelope, to copy is to recognize. Scott |

To me, that just looks silly. Doesn't do a thing for me. Rob |

Yea I have seen it around, but this the first I have seen the high end folks employ it. To each his own. I will stick with my buells. |
