Not so sure about that, if it's fuel injection it would be very very interesting.

It hasn't got a speedo or a tacho - how do you know how fast it goes mister? Can it do a wheelie,can it wheelie mister? It's got no stickers,can't be fast if it's got no stickers mister.

Son, it goes so fast even if it had a speedo you wouldnt even have time to read it.

Oversize frame vs a small lightweight plastic tank. Is this another nasa idea....like that pen for space (Russians took a pencil)
I'm a big fan of buells, but i dont really see this going far - take the buell blast for example, nice bike, but failed to launch.
How about something buellish to go against the 620 duke and MadAss 500? That would sell.

My RS125 Aprilia has a Rotax122 in it. Fast (for a 125) but a bit fragile. Early ones had a rotax 123.
The Aprilia ones have Dellorto carbs.

It's not so much the weight thing as far as the fuell in the frame goes...more so saving space......if there's no 8 litre fuel cell to have to put somewhere....you can have more room for a larger airbox etc...

whats servicing to be like engine out as you cant remove the tank to get near the top and the radiator supports dont look like they allow for much room either.
