They took everything GOOD about a Buell, and threw it out the window!

What a travesty. Might as well have done the same thing to a Sportster, it would've been less work and not nearly as much of an abomination.

Looks like it was made out of play-doh to me!

Wallis & Grommit's next bike perhaps?

I could do better than that for the money. Could at least make it look like a 52 Vincent Black Lightning. Wander how much it weighs.

Guess that goes to show ya what a bunch of "Kawasaki-based builders" consider stylish: a black suppository.

Blech! Not my ideal of attractive to the eye.

Old man: There is no pipe for the rear cylinder because those Kawasaki boys couldn't tell the difference between a XB9 and a Blast. The front cylinder is only there for looks.

"There’s hardly anything of the donor 2005 bike left, and those parts that remain have been heavily modified."

So technically they could've used any platform to make this bike? Why not just call it a custom if there's nothing left of the original? And at least they used an XB and not a tuber.

As for looks I agree with Ourdee, I could do better with the money. Wait 'til I'm done with mine and we'll compare.

I really wonder how well the brake works mounted in front of the forks like that.

And I thought custom chopper builders had bad taste.

Notice the name on the platform seen on Motorcycle News photos.

"HIDE MOTORCYCLE"

I think that says it all.

I quite like it.

It doesn't appear to have any rear suspension travel though.

And whats the point of turning a Buell into a Honda or Kawasaki cafe bike? Oh I know they couldn't get the Honda or Kawi to go fast enough....
