Default Poor Buell

I have always said that Harley had a sport bike market with the Buell. They could have taken that line and developed it into what you see here! Keeping the traditional Harley brand true to the die hard loyalist and Buell for the rest of the market.keeping everyone happy, Harley would have always been a Harley and Buell would have been the cutting edge market.Loved my white Lightning, only bike I kick myself everyday for selling!

Suspect it will take several years before the buying public warms up to the idea of that motor design from Harley if ever.
I'm willing to bet the engine family for these is very heavily based on the V-Rod powertrain. look at them side by side, you'll see plenty of similarities.

The streetfighter looks great but that riding position is for "younger than me" folks. I`d be good for about an hour and a half. The adventure bike looks awesome and I could see me owning one of them
