well I had a little ride on the Buell.... it goes VERY VERY well! I cant believe how they have got that old Sportster engine to produce so much power and torque! It spins up amazingly fast... It's nothing like the 2006 Sportster 1200 I used to own, that had about 50 BHP

Its certainty MUCH more powerful than the Guzzi and I dare say a fair bit more than the Ducatis as well! :o It was only a brief ride but the handling feels very sharp as well, but I didn't push at all as the tyres are new...

Does it vibrate? well... yes, but not as bad as I imagined. I will report back once I have ridden it in anger, and post a video of how it sounds

I am enjoying the buell! so much so I have bought another! I didn't really want another project just yet but this one came along at a bargain price so I couldn't resist! Its a XB12R and runs really nicely. Not sure what I will do with it yet, its going to the back of the garage until September, so I have plenty of time to think about it...

Good start - the wheels won't need repainting!

Looking forward to watching the build - can't wait until September though!
