Neato. waytogo

Also, how short does one need to be for that windscreen to be in any way effective?

profile doesn't look like the screen is too short/low.

i do see the humor in a bunch of naked bike owners complaining about the size of a windscreen on a faired bike.  Grin

i've always thought buell's were innovative as hell... just with outdated engines and ugly designs.

i really want him to succeed in this simply to see what he can fully do with nothing holding him back.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Quote from:  
Buell doesn’t plan on being in just the boutiquesport bike business; he intends to follow these $40,000-plus machines with more affordable versions.

If this is selling for $40k, I wonder what the production model will retail for? $39,999.99. Knowing Erik, it wont be cheap.

Eventually, EBR will offer models we mere mortals can afford. I think they just wanted to make a big "in-your-face-Harley-this-is-what-could-have-been" splash.

I'm glad Buell is no longer with HD. He makes too fine of a product to be associated with HD and their 1920's technology.
