Second last step up the XB range.

Well a Buell is looking better now it has a 1125 Rotax motor.

So now the Buell and the HD crowd will be different.
And will not have the discussion on whether A Buell is a Harley or not.

And here is the link about it and a vid.

I see that my post got moved as I did not know there was a thread all ready going about it. Talk about not able to find your own stuff

And that is why this post reads a bit strange.

Trust me it happens.

Some Buell riders say that a Buell is not a Harley as it is a Buell.
And some Harley guy's will not recognise a Buell as a Harley.

True.

My Buell owner's manual came sealed in a Harley-Davidson bag.
A Harley for mine. Owned.

Does it actually matter ?? I mean really ... My old man wants me to bet a buell so i can join the harley owners group (i refuse to ride a cruiser) and yes .. they do allow you to join with a buell.

Look, i know that a lot of riders define themselves by their bike and i'm no exception .. I'm a "biker" .. i don't care what i ride, as long as i'm riding

I think that it would make it a better motorbike.
And I for one would look at buy one more seriously than I would now.

Runs for cover

Well like the buell... I wouldnt... yes a rotax powered Buell or Aprillia powered Guzzi would be a faster, beter, up to date, more powerfull and economic bike, but then I might as well buy a RSV Mille, the fins, thump, push rods and old scool true blue fair dinkim slow reving enging is 50% the reason I own Guzzi, and love the Buell.

not to mention it would look all funny what with the clutch and gearbox hanging out on one side. I guess you could offset the thing in the frame slightly to compensate. you'd need to machine up a pinion gear to replace the sprocket, too to turn the drive sideways.. but yeah, I think with a few beers, some duct tape, a measuring stick and a couple of big hammers it could be all done and dusted in a weekend.

You've got a spare RSV motor lying around? I'm keen to help.....
