Wow, I haven't seen that bike in a while. I saw it at a BRAG rally in Winchester, VA about 4-5 years ago. An older guy rode it, well he trailered it there. He and his wife were at the rally. That might explain the seat.

That spoiler looks like something right off of a civic.

Wouldn't that make it worse since it would lighten up the front end at speed?

Well guys,
I had the pleasure to meet this guy in Daytona a few years ago.

The bike makes over 150HP without the Nitrous.

The spoiler was build for his wife so she could tour with him.

And he seat is custom made by him.

His was a machinist for the Navy and Build everything on that bike himself.

Very cool dude...

I thought it was the "different" thinking that made Buells great? I think this bike is kinda cool.

Mass centralization at its finest!

OCC...that's funny. It could be a Buell'ed theme bike for the Minnesota Vikings. All you need to do is stick a Viking head on the side in place of the Pegasus logo.

I appreciate the thought and work that went into that thing. But something done up like that simply invites comments as colorful and audacious as the bike itself. So it's fair game.

Ah Richard, you've never had the pleasure of sitting on an S2, have you? Shame. Best seat on any motorcycle, of any description, ever.
