lets just say the buell mc remains as is (hopefully not) and you want to save your special little bike a bit, just using it for the little sunday ride.
what other bike would you get to do that daily ride? must have: - clean naked look - vtwin with attitude - special, not seen on every corner (sorry ducati) usefull info...make, model, torque@rpm & hp |

If I had to choose another Sportbike......
Triumph Triple, customized since they are around. 675cc 425lbs 107hp/51torque 
I will most likely stay with Buells, they may end up being hard to find but they will be available, more so here in the states. If for some reason they weren't I would probably focus towards something like this bike that I was one text away from buying back in March, decided to pay bills instead of buy a bike. It is just a custom Mutant Buell, but I am still pondering the idea of a custom bobber as a frined of mine owns a bike shop and might make some room for me to build one over the winter.

First off LeFox, the last one you posted you think that front wheel would work on our bikes, or is it just a custom wheel??????
Other note: I really dont like any motorcycle, well atleast that is within reason of my price. I know it isnt a v-twin but I dont like the styling of anything else, just the closest I could come up with. Truthfully I dont even like the Firebolt (to much plastic)even though I have one, thus the reason I swapped the tail, and chopped the front fairing. I really dont care much for any "Type" of bike rather a single one-off custom is what I would dream of. Nothing race like, nothing cruiserish, just a hardcore uncomfortable badass motorcycle. But it has to have super clean lines and modern tech. |

"V-Twins with Attitude" being the keyword for this thread fellas. Nothin' sounds like 'em and from the lack of posts on Twins, I guess they're more rare than what I thought.
Piss I hope Buell comes out of this mess.

| I love the way the super duke sounds. And it also shares the quality of being rare. | |

| Why no BMW? Not a v-twin, but way more attitude than most bikes out there right now. I was in between my bike and an F650gs Dakar, and Buell had the rebate... My next bike will probably be an S1000rr, or Ducati 848 | |
