I found this photo on the net, with the only caption "BT Hill Sprinter". I know it's not a Buell, but...BT Hill Sprinter

Built in the UK in a guys garage. It is based on GP250 size specs for the simple fact that someone said he couldn't...gee doesn't that sound familiar? IIRC he started it just after Sundance H-D built their version of Lucifers Hammer with Over Racing.

I posted pics and info of that British built special on BadWeB a couple of years or so ago. Do a search.

If I remember correctly the guy who built it is or was a Formula 1 race mechanic.

It's also in a book or magazine, or both, that I have tucked away somewhere. Maybe Streetfighters magazine and their great hardback publication by the same title.

Imagine how conflicted the HOG riders would be if Buell built a version of this. : D

Thanks for all the background info guys. I'm new to all this Harley/Buell sportbike stuff. I see now, it's nothing new.
Sorry for the rehash. I'll just stick with the singles from now on. -Joe D.

Paddy Hook was the guys name, if I remember correctly. I have a feature of the machine in an old Streetfighters mag. Very cool. It weighs around 385lbs and makes 115RWHP.

The top pic there reminds me of the Goodman Harley, if that's his name. Again, another mad cap Brit!
