Rumor is that was a 1199cc Rotax. Notice the pods are gone. And btw...I dont like it.

I think it looks shitty. I like naked bikes.

The problem with the 1135 was that the nose stuck out too far, and the lobster claws. The XB was light years ahead, stylingwise.

I love my XB, love the way it looks. The 1125 I'm not wild about, but it was still a unique bike. This thing, whatever it was, looks too much like every other bike on the road.

That's the bike I dream of... an American bike that doesn't look like some fucking engineering exercise put together by a mad man! Sometimes, I think Buell made things different just for the sake of being different... Show me a REAL benefit or leave well enough alone! |
