It's a really nice fairing. I bet it looks great on the bike it was designed for. Shame they've balanced it on the front of a bike it doesn't fit though. The naked version- for there will be a naked version- is what interests me. Buell are saying how practical the screen is- if they're going for practical, why keep the trademark buell terrible seat?

I love what Buell did with the Harley-derived motor, a truly unique riding experience- if the gearbox and clutch had worked, I suppose there's a chance I'd own a City X now- so I'm not sure if this is really the stroke of genius everyone thinks it is, but it should be interesting at least.

It's a Buell, so it doesn't matter how ugly it is - no-one will see it when it's parked up in the dealer's workshops again and again.

The engine is a Rotrax motor so it should prove to be reliable providing they have connected it to a gearbox/clutch that can cope with it. It's the gearbox that's supposed to be a weak point with the current range, although I have a friend who owned one and rode it "properly" and he never had any trouble with it except it kept falling over with him on it but you can't really blame the bike for that!
