    oh9bolt's front brake setup looks tits! Yes it's over the top as far as performance goes, but the looks of it! :D

    Cr is next on my list.. but Im not sure I live without at least one XB. They are just too good not to have one.

    I got room for one more and I think 3 Buells will be enough.. I would still pick up a Hastur when it comes out though.

    That looks rather nice! I bet it's pretty fuel efficient since it's just a 620cc twin.

    My next Buell will eventually morph into a hybrid of sorts. The plan being a Firebolt front end, Lightning tail and Uly rear sets. Of course getting the bike is the first step which I'm working on right now.

    815.. mpg may not be all that good. that EBR designed motor spins at super high RPM from what they are saying... more than the SV650 and the SV didn't get great mileage from what I remember.. it probably sucks down fuel like a little jet engine..

    Interesting. I didn't think it would spin that high, just based off of the fact that it "only" has 80hp from a 600cc.

    Its top speed is like 150mph from what I remember... exotic rotating assembly also. Some kind of counter rotating crankshaft, whatever that is. It also doesn't weigh anything... its like 375 wet. 80ps is actually like 78hp..
