Spotted this on Paul Herold's site.  Can anybody identify this bike?  Buell???

Looks like a Buell Blast.

Late 90's maybe.

That looks like a twin.

Wasn't the Blast a single?

You are indeed right.

I think the Cyclone was the twin.

...and that is, indeed, a cyclone in the pic.

Blast was my first thought, but the Blast was definitely a single.

Blast was also an aluminum twin spar style frame, and that looks distinctly like a trellis.

I was thinking maybe some variation of a Hyosung?

it's most definitely a 2000ish buell cyclone M2, worked with a guy who had one, he loved it...I really didnt. front tire nearly bounces off the ground at idle in comedic fashion.

And thanks for the responses people!

I live in SoCal and frequent that piece of road.  Have had my photo taken many times.  Even when I have not been there in a while, I enjoy going through Paul's photos of the previous weekend to see what people are riding and wearing (or not wearing in many cases).
