Yea quite nice, can't actually see any difference between that and the UK model though, except the red stripes. Shame that model fries the stator at a cost of around £1000!..... When Buell got shut down you could pick up brand new models, unregistered from the dealers for as little as £4500.

What are those large vents on the front each side of the bike meant to do? I see the radiator is mounted on the front so it can't be for that I guess. Is it for a turbo or is that a stupid guess. Haven't seen other bikes with this sort of set up.
Its got a mean street fighter looking front end

Sorry for the thread hijack...

At least the right hand pod is for the radiator, being a watercooled engine, I think the left side is also a radiator but could be an air intake. My Buell uses the old air cooled engine, which was designed to be turbo'd from the factory, but the great HD decided (after spending large amounts researching and designing it) decided to not bother!

Just a couple of things you can do to make the pods looks better, but at quite a cost...

Now I'd better stop the hijack, but could talk Buell for ages Lol
