Agreed on both points. But this photo brings a thought to mind.
It is really easy to change the look of the XB because the bodywork consists of only a few plastic covers. Hmmm...

Hmmm, I like the fly-screen, but the rest is a bit too much...

question is, if Buell had originally released that design instead of what it did, would you guys have been this hard on it.


Personally I think its kinda cool, not that I don't love my firebolt just the way it is, but I'd like that one too.

That a firebolt or a lightning?
Somebody playing with photoshop?
Notice the ignition location, mirrors and front bug screen - all XBxS
The seat/trunk - XBxR....

Personally, I am more fond of smooth flowing lines, on any bike, than the "sharpness" of more recent bikes...

It's the LightningBolt XB12RS...
It's was done with sketches, then scanned, then used a picture of the XB without the plastic, then the scanned sketches were scaled down and applied as a layer, the background is just one of the sketches of the flyscreen as the thing evolved...
I think it's kinda cool.
Kinda, as in a different look then what the XB looks like now.
I really don't care for the "sharpness" either, if I did I may have ended up with an SV1000S.

The sharp edges and flat planes bring to mind the F-117 Stealth fighter.

It's strange, but I like it better than the new naked KTM.

The fully-faired RC8 is pretty cool though.

I'm real boring and I only like black bikes and smooth lines, but that bike is cool.

I like it too - as S320002 said - like a stealth fighter. Mind you - will need to do something about the noise for that to be really true!
