So, is this a tuber or an XB? Thoughts... http://greenville.craigslist.org/mcy/4981722721.ht ml | ||

Neither. A motorcycle is legally a frame, and it ceased to be a Buell when he replaced it. | ||

Neat. I wish it were closer, I'd like to check it out in person. I like what I see so far, but not enough to give up $$ and shop space for it. I agree with Hootowl - I'd call this bike by the frame builders name or Marque, just like I would with a Ness, Gambler, or Buell. If I couldn't do that, I'd refer to it as a "Custom Tuber" Legally, in California it would be a SPCNS. (Special Construction) for title, registration and insurance purposes. Thanks for sharing this, BTW | ||

is that a Duc frame? Kinda looks like one | ||

I didn't think so at first, but if you added 1 tube to a 900ss frame it would look very similar. If I could see the headstock I could tell more, but the Duc trellis is smaller on current models and Ducati does not typically use hardly any bent tubing in their frames- lots of short straight tubes and crazy levels of triangulation. So, then I texted dude and just asked him- he says it was not a Ducati, was completely custom built, but he didn't build it - so who knows? | ||

Maybe framecrafters. They have done at least one tube frame for an XB. See their website |
