I think its cool. Plus 125 hp never hurts. Big twin with right side drive, doesnt say what trans it has but a six speed would slide right in if its not equipped. |

I think it's WAY cool! 6 speed not needed I'm sure. Hot under the @$$. If I could get one (afford one that is) I may just get 'im to make one o' them there Boo Elle type exhaust that goes underneath th' engine. |

Dyna it has the Baker DD6 iirc. It would look even sweeter with a nickle plated nine...er I mean frame |

That's awesome, the tank and front end look like some of those new Guzzi models they're coming out with to be retro cafe's. I like the chain tensioner....never seen that before! The new V11 |

If Buell could ignore noise emissions restrictions, they could create bikes a lot more interesting than that thing, and they'd actually get down the road capably as well. |

The frame looks like it is straight off a Sears mini bike. Not even up to the quality of a Rupp. |

The frame is based off the Norton Featherbed design that was used extensively for racing in the 50's-70's. |

If Buell could ignore noise emissions restrictions... If only. I'd love to see what Erik would come up with if given free reign! |

Rolling art of a sort. Unique, but not functional. Definitely not a Buell. |

Just out of curio...what makes you think its not functional? I have ridden a Norley and though it isn't an XB it did handle very well. |

Wycked, Think about it, a big twin hard-mounted to a rather meager/flimsy steel tube frame, low slung clip-ons, longgggg wheelbase, whimpy swingarm. And the mass of header piping on the right side... if you think a Buell can cook your right thigh, can you imagine that thing? |

Guess it could be counterbalanced. If not, yikes. |

Yeah, but in an XB type setup - could be a lot of fun! GT - JBOTDS! EZ |

Well, Glitch, you hit it already..."Ugh" because I'm too young - I missed the whole cafe racer era and the style just never really did anything for me. -=shrugs=- Just a matter of opinion. With that big EVO in it, it should be loads of fun, though! |
