The top two are a prototype that they used to test various parts on the XB when it first came out. The others are the original concept sketches during development of the xb.

I really like that drawing with "BUELL" on the swingarm.I might think about doing something like that.

I would love to have a lower chin fairing with the vents like the last drawing it reminds me of the RSD bike in a way.

I dig how they have half the swingarm and frame blacked out, just like when they test drive prototype cars clad with coloured patches and such to throw off the lines of the vehicle to spy photogs
:D

They had several when I was there over Christmas. Along with the proto, one in the area where you can sit on the bikes. One that was used in some record stoppy. (personally I think that's a bit of a dig on Buell for that bike to be in the HB museum). I'm sure they would of had more but they had to have the tandom HD display.

I would love to get prints of some of the concept pencils sketches.

Anyone ever seen these for sale?

I bought a black XBS because I liked the bike in Star Trek, I had no idea it really was a Buell.
