And was nice enough to let me ride it!

My arms are still buzzing and the thing feels like it has a 25 lb flywheel.  Has an intoxicating amount of Carbon Fiber!

The fuel is stored in the frame and the oil is stored in the swingarm!  Thats some creative stuff right there!

What did you think of the brakes?  How did it ride in general?  Looks cool even though it has a tractor engine in it.

if you ever want to stop him or beat him in a race, throw water at his headlight area. the bolts drop to 1 cylinder in heavy rain  [laugh]

we found that out when we suddenly lost a couple of members of our riding group.

then the other guy we met who has one (very close to the one pictured) was riding in the rain with us and the same thing happened to his bike.

The brakes were fine. The bike is so damn stubby, didnt want to get on them too hard.  One of the rotors has a warp to it so they pulsed a bit.  He's got new ones coming.

The seating position is VERY upright, way moreso that my M900 even with stock bars.

Im used to my M900s revs coming back with the return of the throttle.....this thing seemed to take seconds to come back to idle.....funny, I used the tractor engine analogy when I first throttled it up.

I can see it being a super fun bike, totally different feel from a Monster but cool nontheless.  Love the technical innovation, the CF and the value.

You can store the fluids wherever you want...

It's still a Buell...

with a sporty motor.

I'd like to see them get the V-Rod motor.

that would be a fun bike. ;)

VRod motors too big and heavy.  Would totally defeat the purpose of this flickable and stubby hooligan machine.
