A Harley even I would ride

That pipe is fucking gorgeous.

Hrm.. a Harley motor in a vaguely sport-like frame... now where have I seen that design before?

*and yes, it looks good

See, that's just it. I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but Erik's shit almost always looked like fucking ass. It may have worked ok, but it sure wasn't sexy.

This thing is dead sexy, and that pipe is fucking ridiculous.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Some of it worked for me, some didn't. The image you posted is of something more custom than Buell was ever going to be able to market, and actually quite reminiscent of the Ecosse Heretic.

Kind of makes you wonder who helped develop it since they kicked Eric Buell to the curb.

While I will certainly agree that Buell's are not the sexiest bikes on the road I will take the looks of my bike over that any day.

the two most "looked at" bikes I owned were a Triumph Sprint and a Buell. everywhere I went with either one people had to come and talk about them. people love the character of the Buell.

To each their own... I like that thing... but I also think the Buell XB's are ridiculously perty... The 1125R not so much, but the CR? Hells yes... And the EBR 1190? Holy fuck that thing is SICK.

So, basically every Buell except the one I bought, huh?
Gee, thanks OSP.
