More multistrada than dual sport maybe, but a truely beautiful machine, IMO

Can't say I'm a fan of the look of that...

Bet this would be very agricultural

Is that why they're called tractors

Still like the look of the CityX though

Dont know why, but there is just something about the simplicity and ugliness of buells that i find disturbingly beautiful. They are by no means the best of thier marque, but they do make people turn and stare, for whatever reason. I do prefer the Lightning over this one though.

Does it for me too! Except... for the seat height.

Oh my goodness me, no. I love the Buell look but that's nasty. The screen's the worst thing I've ever seen on a bike. Or maybe the tailpiece is. Or possibly the saddle.

You should sit on one when it's doing that. You start singing "Good, good, good, good vibrations".

It looks like a mutant BMW GS.
