Default Riding a couple of Buell's

I'm riding these on Saturday, sorry the pix are crap they are off my phone, I'll take my camera on Saturday



Also saw these hot little numbers at the shop





Can't wait to ride the new Buell's they are Rotax powered, liquid cooled 1125cc

I used to own a '99 M2 Cyclone- factory thunderstorm heads, 1203cc, wanna talk about some torque; that bike was quicker than any 600cc crotch rocket I've ever ridden. the look of the buells is still imo, a bit controversial. But, that's what makes them a Buell I guess. have fun and try and keep the front wheel on the ground. lol

I like the look of the fairing model, not so keen on the naked

Yeah, it's exciting to see Buell teaming-up with Rotax. I'd like to see them get serious and eventually start giving Ducati some competition on the track.

I think they could do better on the shroud styling, but I'll bet the bike is a blast to ride...no pun intended.

lol, when that Norton beats a Ducati (which I btw, dislike), I'll cancel my membership on this forum. When was the last time a Norton won a superbike race- oh yeah, never. I'll say it again, looks just like some joeshmoe race ZX6R, nothing special imo.
