looks like a squished duke 998 from the front, it's the Buel isn't it?

yea the buell that buell spoilt.
It's not that bad, the fairing just looks a bit clumsy. Almost like it's sitting on top of a bike that is too small for it, rather than being a part of the bike itself.

I bet it looked great before the crash.:rolleyes:
It looked absolutely awful behind the clocks inside the fairing when sitting on the bike. Did feel quite nice though, once sitting on it.
Serious disagreement here. I liked it. I think the exhaust looks awesome. True, the welds weren't up to much but it didn't detract from the overall offering. I wouldn't mind one in my garage.

Not sure the Buell looks that bad? I believe it offers a very exciting sporty ride who likes the power delivery and torque from a beefy V twin donk.;)

It really does look pants in the flesh.
Is it still a Hardley Davidson lump? If so, prepare to be underwhelmed....

personally i didn't think it looked that bad, it's no 999 but it's certainly a helluva lot better looking than this new kawasaki:

what the hell is going on down here?
I actually does look like its been thrown down the road. What happened under the peg there? I have done neater welds than that.
But, I noticed that too, when you sit on one, when I sat on the CityX, it feels good. Very good.
I really badly want a CityX actually.
Darling little brute of a thing.

I couldn't agree more... The new Kwak's are 'butt-ugly' at best!
Mind you, I couldn't make my mind up with the Buell 1125R - I took no pictures of it, so I guess that speaks for itself? Plus its got a rotax engine fitted :-s Mucho expensive if it goes wrong...
