so the accidental leak on the Buell web site that Court was talking about... by any chance was it a video clip for a Buell 1125R? if so I've seen it and WOW!!!!! Great video and a bike that will 100% totally blow people away. The closest thing to it and the direct head-to-head comparison will be the Ducati 1098. |

Anyone know if its true that Harley owns the rights to Rotax motors in North America? |

It's definitely an all new engine, not based on any existing Rotax. I'm actually smiling right now thinking about how pleased Buell fans are gonna be tomorrow. |

At 9am Monday morning we’ll bring you the world’s first video and pictures of the most exciting sports bike we’ve seen since the Ducati 1098. Since MCN is UK-based, this means 3:00 am (CST) here in the US. |

Just so nobody can pin on me either, if you go to the Cycle World forums, there's a link to the video in a post. HOLY-FREAKING-CRAP!!!

it's still up on the web but I won't provide a link because I don't want to piss all over Eriks parade tomorrow. Buell wants to have a big surprise for the dealer event, let 'em have their party. They've 100% earned it. I would encourage anyone else who finds the link to not post it until tomorrow. in the meantime I'll continue dropping vague hints and teasers!!!

Looks cool, but kinda fat like a road version of the XBRR. Obviously a new engine though. Don't think I would pay 15 grand for it though. |

Well done Buell!!! First glances seem very impressive, and just what we have been asking for. I hope we see more details tomorrow so I can start to plan some aftermarket parts for it |

on't think I would pay 15 grand for it though. I could be wrong but I don't think you will have to. |

Question is, how long before the "Lightning" version follows it... and what about the "RR" version??? |

I wonder if Rocketman's dreams have been answered. To me it looks like Erik scored a GOAL! |
