I wouldnt buy one (I would buy an XR1200 HD or a Lightning though).
Buell me like. He is a thinker our Erik.

Wot 'e said. About time Buell used a motor with more than four valves, watercooling and a lack of pushrods, but the question has to be asked - why not use the V-rod motor? it's similar spec & capacity (1130cc) and the 60deg v-angle could potentially mean a shorter engine, thus a shorter wheelbase and / or more central weight distribution. Both goals of Buell's in their recent models.
Still, this looks damn promising. And pretty damn sexy too

The V-Rod motor is physically much bigger than a Sporty motor. The gearbox is enormous too. It would be quite hard to fit a Buell style chassis around one.

Ha! That'll shut the haters up! I'd hit it

Hmmm I like the look so far, bit hard to tell with the dark video and all that though, will defently be worth keeping an eye on when its released.
Not that I will be abe to aford it if I wanted to.
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

hmmmm... I dunno. At first glance I thought what is it? It does look suzi like at the front.
After reading and looking at the Vid I still dunno...

It's really great to see Harley have not restrained Buell in any way, letting him and the company make some (more) cool stuff.

Some specs..
84 degrees of rake.
170kg.
8 piston caliper.
Good suspension range.
This thing maybe quite Tunable.

84 degrees of rake?? It must have a 90" front wheel to keep the sump off the ground!

Sounded radical to me to. Thats off the Buell site.
I just noticed you thought I meant Rake. 84 is for Trail. Humble apologies.

You said rake

nope looking more and I dont like the front, i dont like the fkn huge airbox covers... gees i thought they had ditched that with the X1's??
And yeah it is starting to look more and more like a jappa...
At least it does still have a belt drive, but what would I do with an extra gear?
Ah well, not something I will have to worry about for awhile... by the time i want/need a new bike, they may have made it more to my liking. Cos after looking at that i feel a little depressed that my Firebolt may end up looking just like all the other bikes out there.
Having said that maybe this will be another version of Buell, and they will keep the 12R?? PLEASE!!!

That's because like Ducati, the rest of the world is starting to realise that the Japanese have got it right.
