Ya know, it is funny to me to hear everybody (not just here) bash Eric Buell and his motorcycles....but look at that muffler.
Where have you seen that design before? BUELL.
Years ago, while striving to get the best mass centralization, Eric put the heaviest part of the exhaust system, the muffler, at the lowest, most central part of the bike.
Underneath. Next everyone will be using the front rotor design that he put on the XB series.

Erik Buell is a freakin' genious! Imagine what he could do with a modern engine.
It won't be long before rim mounted brakes, gas in the frame, oil in the swingarm, etc, will show up on more bikes.
Take a look at his first bikes back in the mid eighties- the bodywork has a lot in common with a Busa (very streamilined).
Have you ever met the guy? Very cool dude. Down to earth, and without a doubt, one of the most enthusiastic motorcyclists I've met.
Definitely a kindred spirit.
I'm waiting to see if the motor company lets him put a v-rod motor in an XB chassis. Now THAT would be a kickazz corner carvin' sob!!
If you read the latest edition of the UK magazine "Bike" they have a list of the top 50 best-handling bikes. The Buell is number 1.
Hope that makes you feel better...
Love the sound tho....
the exhaust is different, wonder what it sounds like...
