Found this on the net, probably been posted here before. It can be yours for a mere $76K. And I'm quite sure it's not as light nor does it handle as well as the real S1.

It's in one of the current motorcycle magazines..made the cover in fact. Nice, but long, and heavy, makes up for heavy with an incredible motor...but still long.

The rich can sell the rich ANYTHING!!!!

"..Something is DEFINITELY amiss at the Circle K"!!

According to the article, even the fuel tank is CNC cut...?? I suppose for $78K you don't have paint bubbling issues on the fuel tank? (there I did it...I reintroduced bubbling paint issues..)

It does look cool in the photos though, but you can see how long it is....more of a muscle cruiser than a street fighter.... but they really did go to great detail for all every little thing, so bravo for that...but $78??

nice job covering detail and perfect touch at every point, but so far out of my purchase capability!!!

shoot for $78K my list would go something like this:

New "left over" EBR bike...
another S2
85 Honda VF1000r
Motus
BMW RnineT

and about 30K left in the bank!

$78,000 to spend? Redo my 96S1 with a nickel plated frame, S&S motor, stainless exhaust like my D&D just bigger, 6 speed and an EBR front end. EBR's used Ohlins forks and ZTL2 brakes of course. tune the suspension and dyno tune the motor. The remaining $50,000 would finance a few vacations or ?

what does this have to do with an S1??

Saw this on CBS Sunday Morning this morning. Great looking motorcycles.
Seems they are built to order or at least made one at a time/not massed produced.

That is quite a ways from an S1.

I respectfully disagree with your title.

Good day to you, sir!





The S1 is the rawest, nastiest, coolest, and best handling production bike in existence with an H-D XL motor.

The KRGT-1 is a poseur special.

Mid pegs, longish rake, long wheelbase, bunch of power, extravagant price. The ground clearance does not look particularly good.

There are certainly better alternatives.

No I do not want a ride.

A Confederate would make a better alternative.

They come up used at reasonable prices.

My latest bike is an air cooled big bore supermoto.

Low cost, low tech, effortless handling and a hoot to ride. With a bunch of aftermarket parts it was a $7500 motorcycle and I'd rather have a few of those than that.

For that kinda cash I'd be into something a bit more exotic, that works...

KRGT-1 sure looks "inspired" by Buell, in several ways. The NCR version of the Ducati Panigale is $120,000. Must be nice...

It's a power cruiser. Such bikes have around well before Buells.

Not everything with USD forks and sportbike rolling stock has to be "Buell inspired."

It is not nearly in a sportbike chassis.

No, it isn't. Not sure what they were going for other than a look.

With the Ducati Diavel, there is a new market spectrum or niche, this looks like a cross between an S1 and a Diavel...(I've ridden a few of the Diavel models...different, but grows on you quckly!) my guess is that's the market they are after, I do like the looks, its definitely a power cruiser with attitude...but again, love my tube frame Buells, and well....I just don't have the money, but they weren't marketing to me anyway...based on what I take home in "discretionary cash".....

I don't see any resemblance to an S1 or Diavel.

I would rather buy an FXR and throw money at it until it's fast and kewl.

Wow
I always wanted an FXR, but that is nice. oh wait, didn't Engineer Buell work on that original design? Putting a sportster front end on a big twin? Does that make the FXR Buell inspired?
