Always is when it comes to Buell... everyone shat on him with the XB's because of the boat anchor motor... then he gets a better engine and they shit on the styling... I think the only way people would stop shitting on Buell is if he created the same cookie cutter bikes the big four make.

I have an XB in the garage.

I shit on this bike because it is basically the same bike with a better motor.

I want to like the bike. It (mostly) looks great. The HUGE radiator ruins it for me.

As far as the haters, there are nearly as many fanbois that are willing to suck Erik's dick every time he comes out with a "new" bike. "Look ma, new colors!"

Erik's claim to fame was his "revolutionary" designs. You can only keep the same unproven design around for so long before it is no longer revolutionary.

I dont like the gigantic radiator either. From the front it's hideous.

I don't buy into Buell's designs for function, it's all form for me... innovative, and neat-o maybe... but to me, they just look cool... unique. I don't suck his dick, I just think his bikes are pretty... the one I owned made me a huge fan.

I'd like it more if it was a little narrower, but fuck it, I still think that bike looks fucking badass.

1. Same here.


2. It's split for the front cylinder header. But it needs to be more narrow. Just too much there. Stupid liquid cooled bikes.

So make the radiator black

I bought an 1125R, 3 T shirts, a cap, some stickers, a Erik N the Thunderbolts CD, and am saving to buy a Barracuda 1190...


Just to piss off all the haters!

Good for you, brother! You'd be shocked at the number of Buell shirts/hats/gears I have...well...you probly wouldn't.

I entertained thoughts of the new EBR Pegasus as a tattoo. Still not certain but it ranks up there.
