This was parked outside a small motorcycle repair shop about a mile from my house. They mainly deal in Harley's, but I have seen at least three Buells there on various occasions. Normally I'm a fan of custom bikes that are unique and tasteful, but all's I can think when I look at this is how good a stock(ish) S1 would look next to my M2 in the garage...

Kinda looks similar. As bad of taste this may be, it doesn't look to be a hack job. It looks like it was a former drag bike that someone bought and threw on forward controls.

You're right. He had another video of the bike, taken from the same shop where I took those pictures.

It always kills me when guys put an HD sticker on the tank of a Buell.
If you want a Harley, go buy one and be like all the other jackasssses.

Judging by the rearsets, it looks like he's trying to make a drag racer. What a shame.

I am with nitro might have been a drag bike.
Not horrible not my taste.
I cant judge as he has more original parts on that bike then I do on mine!
Mine and that one sitting next to one another a novice would guess his as a Buell before mine probably.

Dave you don't like it??

It's RED, it will go well with the new color scheme

But ya should have grabbed the white one also for the trifecta


This one.... different swing arms in those vids

As a cruiser..... foreward controls.. I bet it that pipe HURTS!!!

As an abandoned drag bike project...if I found it cheap....
