so the accidental leak on the Buell web site that Court was talking about... by any chance was it a video clip for a Buell 1125R? if so I've seen it and WOW!!!!! Great video and a bike that will 100% totally blow people away. The closest thing to it and the direct head-to-head comparison will be the Ducati 1098. | ||

Anyone know if its true that Harley owns the rights to Rotax motors in North America? | ||
| Norcal_blast |
It's definitely an all new engine, not based on any existing Rotax. I'm actually smiling right now thinking about how pleased Buell fans are gonna be tomorrow. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Well dang, Norcal, you could SHARE it with the rest of us you know! | ||
| Aatch |
..this is getting ridiculous... i feel like a kid before christmas... please share a tidbit, a nugget, a mere morsel of a teaser with us Norcal. Anything, anything at all - i seriously can't stand another day of not knowing | ||

Ditto.... | ||

At 9am Monday morning we’ll bring you the world’s first video and pictures of the most exciting sports bike we’ve seen since the Ducati 1098. Since MCN is UK-based, this means 3:00 am (CST) here in the US. | ||

not based on any existing Rotax But he didn't say it wasn't a Rotax motor  | ||
| Hughlysses |
Just so nobody can pin on me either, if you go to the Cycle World forums, there's a link to the video in a post. HOLY-FREAKING-CRAP!!!  | ||
| Norcal_blast |
it's still up on the web but I won't provide a link because I don't want to piss all over Eriks parade tomorrow. Buell wants to have a big surprise for the dealer event, let 'em have their party. They've 100% earned it. I would encourage anyone else who finds the link to not post it until tomorrow. in the meantime I'll continue dropping vague hints and teasers!!!  | ||

"I would encourage anyone else who finds the link to not post it until tomorrow." too late it's on the quick board | ||

Anyone want a 2006 XB12Ss with custom paint and lots of carbon fiber?? | ||
| Rubberdown |

| Cityxslicker |
Waiting for the dirt bike announcement and video  | ||
| Altima02 |
Wow! Just plain wow! | ||
| Rubberdown |
Hydro slipper clutch, 6 speed. | ||
| Cgocifer |
Looks cool, but kinda fat like a road version of the XBRR. Obviously a new engine though. Don't think I would pay 15 grand for it though. | ||
| Rubberdown |
Turn signals in mirrors. ZTL2 brakes. Where's the exhaust? | ||
| Dongalonga |
I will be putting down my deposit ASAP I retract my earlier statement that I would pay 15K...I dont care how much it cost I will sell organs if I have to. I am so glad my bike sold today!!! Thank you Erik you are my hero!!! | ||
| Xbswede |
That is awesome. If I have to sell one of my wifes cars to get it I will. I am not giving up XB12Ss. I need two bikes! | ||
| Josh_cox |
MMM... so, now to talk to the bank! | ||
| Prof_stack |
Hey, we went way over post 1125!  | ||
| Trojan |
Well done Buell!!! First glances seem very impressive, and just what we have been asking for. I hope we see more details tomorrow so I can start to plan some aftermarket parts for it  | ||
| Davegess |
on't think I would pay 15 grand for it though. I could be wrong but I don't think you will have to. | ||
| Xb12rdude |
All my motorcycle dreams have been answered. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS | ||
| 007blast |
I think that bike is in the new transformers movie. I could be wrong. | ||
| Donatello |
Question is, how long before the "Lightning" version follows it... and what about the "RR" version??? | ||
| Prof_stack |
I wonder if Rocketman's dreams have been answered. To me it looks like Erik scored a GOAL! |
