The carbon edition seems VERY promising. Good stuff indeed! This reminds me of CBR and GSXR combining together.

these things are pretty awesome. Glad to see he is still making bikes. The exhaust reminds me of a 2-stroke GP bike exhaust and doesnt really fit, but i do like the mismatched wheels believe it or not, haha.

I actually like the exhaust! It was needed to meet EPA sound requirements and the best part is it actually helped make power!

That's sick, well out of my price range though for the CF edition at 40k.

Really happy to see he is making bikes and back to the full fairing. I actually REALLY like this bike, even if it has a Hardly power plant...

Hope he make the same bike with regular plastics and around 15k, I'd buy one.

That bike is sick looking, but I thought Buells needed twice the displacement to compete with the foreign bikes in racing?

ummm Not sure where you have been, but there is nothing Harley on this bike. The power plant is the 1125's Rotax engine from Austria that has been modified to Mr. Buells specs by Erik Buell Racing. The biggest reason I bought my 1125R was for the fact that it did not have a Harley motor.

That was only when Harley was in control and forced Buell to run their overweight, underpowered motors. This seperation from Harley's control is the best thing to happen to Buell.

Mine has been trouble free with 9500 miles on it. I have read to avoid the 09's as they seem to have the most trouble with stator issues. I bought my '10 used and all the recalls were already done which could be a blessing for me. The bike is very comfortable to ride and with the Erik Buell Racing ECM runs amazing. With the stock ECM it had a nasty shutter at lower rpm's.
