Despite the fact I can't spell to save my life... I saw someone post this up on FB. It is for sale on ebay at the link below. Does anyone know anything about it?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-Lightning-/161813680 958 (Message edited by slowride on September 08, 2015) (Message edited by slowride on September 08, 2015) | ||

So, it has an ZTL front end and an XB rear end. Is that a VR vent on the front next to the headlights? | ||

two - considering the size, and the lines running up to it - probably not oil cooler I'd think | ||

I wonder if there's a reason they wanted a frame that would flex that much... Or is it just for looks? /EDIT - Maybe it's not "quite" as bad as I thought at first glance but it's certainly not a strong as a modern sportbike frame. I suppose it likely doesn't matter unless you're road racing though. (Message edited by M1Combat on September 09, 2015) | ||

It has been tested on the track and their folks say it's solid. A little flex doesn't hurt...in fact "controlled flex" is something manufacturers have been chasing since finding that too stiff is also detrimental. Done right it aught to work. I like the concept. I *really* want a real street tracker in the spirit of "super trackers," but doing so on a proper frame with a proper power plant is sooo expensive. | ||

I always figured the Bott bike was the answer to every guy who ever said - "What the Blast needs is a second cylinder!" - yeah there is more to it than that, but frame styles are similar, and it is lighter than the XB, and the cg looks lower as well. Just don't think it will get that far with that small tank. Otherwise very nice. Rex has been wanting to do one for years now. EZ | ||

I always figured the Bott bike was the answer to every guy who ever said - "The insurance company have written off my XB because of frame damage." Seriously though, if the kit had been available & passable through the tortuous French vehicle reconstruction rules, I'd have bought the STT back and done it. Now if I could find something like that for a Tuber... | ||

Titanium. I'd call that the noodle bike. |
