Buell motocross bike

To build their first moto-x bike within the next two years....

[S&S]

Very cool......

[vifferman]

Why?

It's not like they're likely to catch an untapped segment of the market or anything.
I thought so - it's Rotax engined.

Well I guess that's the same as asking why KTM strated building road bikes innit?

[vifferman]

Maybe now they'll start sticking Rotax engines in their roadbikes. Lose some weight and gain some horsies...

Let's hope they remember the kick starter before it goes into production.

Harley have been putting their name on Rotax powered flattrackers for many years.

A nice blending of Yamaha blue and Kawasaki green.....what else have they borrowed?

[Finn]

what else have they borrowed?

A pirated copy of Photoshop?

Seems like these Rotax power plants are showing up all over the place. Must be a good unit

I used to have a Rotax 125 in a go kart and it was the bees nuts. Had an Aprilia carb on it. They also make helicopter and microlight engines so they must be good.

I see they continue the fuel-in-the-frame idea with this one too. Makes it very clean looking.

Let's hope they remember the kick starter before it goes into production.

I'm guessing that the kick start is on the left hand side of the engine, as the drive is on the right.

[Motu]

Well that's an easy fix by reversing the negative.

Looks lovely

Touche! Indeed it would. Some of the Euro's do use right drive don't they, maybe earlier ones, and Sportsers do too. There is HD's contribution, it's the Buell Sportser X'er.
