Kinda like the aftermath of trying to clear out a bad sinus condition into a pile of chopped up garden slugs.

It's cool, Spidey. It just needs to go to an Indian restaurant and get stir-fried, is all...

AHA! I've got the scoop now! A TDI DIESEL Buell!

http://www.raptorsandrockets.com/images/Various/Goodwood_2007/Goodwood_07-161.jpg

Interesting quote on the same page (Raptors & Rockets blog report dated 6/23/2007 from the "Goodwood Festival of Speed"):

"Interviewed Erik Buell again. Unfortunately he couldn't race his XBRR at Goodwood as he had broken up an old injury in his knee. Possibly whilst testing the new Buell dirt-bike... Alan Cathcart has been told to bring leathers to Laguna Seca in August whilst Mr Buell told me that there's also a dirt-track at Laguna Seca... Will be exciting to finally get to know what sort of bike/bikes Buell will launch at Laguna in the end... "

A rogue turtle just whispered this in my ear:

http://www.rogueturtle.com/articles/fire.php

He then said to go west to around Minnesota.

Uh, this may be the wrong thread, I'm so confused.




On topic, I did stop in at the local Triumph shop today and saw an XB Buell parked in the furtherest spot in the parking lot from the door. Coincidence? I think not.

Now Now Spidey. I don't eat that particular Kringle but I know a huge Mexican food fan that wants to try a piece of Danish Pastry with a Mexican twist. I just can have it made..... I'd eat White Castle first.lol

I've been following this thread for a while now, and I decided to go over to my local HD dealership to see what they know. I talked with a salesman about what is coming from Buell. He just said to wait for the 08 model. He would not say any specifics about the bike, just that it is going to be awesome. He said look to the end of July for more info.

Jesse,
Did he say that thinking he might be able to sell you an in-stock bike now, or did he assume you were just there looking for a preview?

No, I think he was just giving me a friendly heads up. He said he would love to sell me an 07 (or one of the 03's or 04's they still have on the floor!!!) but I should definitely wait and see what the 08 looks like. I tried to get some specifics out of him. I threw the liquid cooled, 120hp to the tire, tube frame?, etc., rumors at him to now avail. He just said to wait and see, what's coming is a big move forward. Hmmm.....

I hope the new bike is an excellent drag race bike, with superior road race charactoristics, with leading edge supermoto ability, while being able to comfortably tour cross country, on/off road, two up, with tons of luggage room.

I just had to add my input to this HUGE thread.

Please keep VW FAR away from Buell!

Does a prototype even close to a production Buell dirt bike even exist? I wouldn't think so if the schedule release is still years away.

Yeah, that was Audi driver Alan McNish talking with Erik about the one that got away in the photo earlier.

Do dealers really know anything other than there will be 08 models?

there has been NOTHING formally released to the dealers. I would have seen that Memo. They wont, because they know it will get up here before they are ready... and then the remaining o7s will be on the floor for eternity.... Ie had the thousands of H-D customers KNOWN about the 96 c.i. block and 6 speed, how many 2006's do you think I really could have sold. When did I find out about it? When they were on the trucks and on the way to the dealerships... I expect the same with Buell

Oh yea, 650 HP and 811 ft-lbs torque! Read more at:

You know, the motorcycle equivalent of that would be pretty awesome...

I'm not saying they can't perform. They're just not the best when it comes to reliability in my experience. I've dealt with 4 VWs (aka Audis) and they were relatively problematic. Statistics back me up on this.

Speaking of Audis, some punk in a 1990s Audi with a blow off valve and a heartagram hood ornament tried to race me with his Audi when I was minding my own business. Good thing for him there was a lot of traffic and he didn't have much room to get smoked. I cracked the throttle and pulled away from him after he floored his POS.

McNish has always been one of my favorite drivers. I always rooted for him when he was driving the Toyota in F1.
