I reckon it'd be great fun taking the back wheel off and putting it on again. Be sure to take some pics while you do it too mate.

Good luck.

No matter how much you try, the Buell won't be a proper motard...

There is that.

Been working on the sales pitch, somat along the lines of a direct comparison to the various and hideously expensive furniture around here being, (apparently), designed specifically for different roles in their respective environments....

To be honest, build it.

There's very few bikes I could use to their full potential let alone something like that, but I've long thought yer typical off-the-shelf "adventure bike" wasn't a good compromise for NZ conditions.

And yet... when it comes to general hoonery there ain't no substitute for cubic inches.

But mostly I just like making stuff. Preferably stuff around the edges of any possible design envelope.

Are we convinced yet?
