I want to like the bike. It (mostly) looks great. The HUGE radiator ruins it for me.

As far as the haters, there are nearly as many fanbois that are willing to suck Erik's dick every time he comes out with a "new" bike. "Look ma, new colors!"

Erik's claim to fame was his "revolutionary" designs. You can only keep the same unproven design around for so long before it is no longer revolutionary.

I dont like the gigantic radiator either. From the front it's hideous.

I don't buy into Buell's designs for function, it's all form for me... innovative, and neat-o maybe... but to me, they just look cool... unique. I don't suck his dick, I just think his bikes are pretty... the one I owned made me a huge fan.

I'd like it more if it was a little narrower, but fuck it, I still think that bike looks fucking badass.

1. Same here.


2. It's split for the front cylinder header. But it needs to be more narrow. Just too much there. Stupid liquid cooled bikes.
