I'd rep you if I could jeffie.

Making cubes out of them was genius. Unfortunately, they are re-launching it. fial.

Whats funny is, the video explaining it says "Sorry all previous customers, we sold you a piece of shit bike. We're so convinced that they are shit we are delivering them straight to the crusher. Come buy another one!"

"Its not breakthrough.. Its not innovative at all.."
"Its a simple motorcycle"

Then he says

"You can't copy what other people do"

From the lips of the founder of buell. Now they are going to go copy everyone else, because their design sucked balls.

I hate the fact that buell hasn't made an inline 4 to keep up with the rest of japan. Fuck all that harley shit. start makin your own blocks. and liquid cool them. My legs are gonna write a very angry letter.

You do know the new Buell 1125R keeps up with the best of them right? They got the engine right even if its not a inline motor, doesn't matter they still nailed it.

P.S harley has nothing to do with the new buell motors.

Where's the info about buell relaunching the blast?
