That was me.

The side radiators aren't a bad look, hell the TLS and Superhawk had them. I think you could pretty easily relocate or disguise the overflow tank and the hell with the radiators, leave 'em right where they are. My favorite bike in the world is the Vyrus, and it's all mechanical everywhere.

In the end it boils down to the fact that Buells have always been about style AND substance, innovative style, unique substance. The ONLY drawback was the motor. And this new one seems too much of a departure from the XB buells. Lets be honest, you don't buy a buell to have the best sportbike out there, you buy it to own a buell. And this bike just doesn't "click" for me the way the old buells did.

I'm glad you love it, and I'm not knocking the bike itself, it just doesn't do it for me.
