Anybody want to buy my Buell?

GregR1 · 07-25-2007, 10:50 AM

i wish they'd make it look less like an Autobot. otherwise, i like it!

DeRiggi · 07-25-2007, 11:33 AM

I kinda like the "Transformers" headlight =]

LOL!!
It does look like an autobot!

Some of the new Kawasaki bikes have a similar autobot look too.
I guess it's the trend?

ya, the Z1000 that we get here is the same pointy angular affair. actually, i think the Z1000 is even worse! so many pointy and angular lines on it, and repeated all over. oddly enough, the Z750S looks a TON better and quite different, even though it's the same "family".

Kinda cool but, since it costs more than a Busa, it will be a long time before I could consider it.

Wonder how many they will sell?

650Doug · 07-25-2007, 03:50 PM

It's running the Busa engine in it. At the introduction of it they showed it with a supercharger on it, but that's gone now. It's getting the stock Busa motor without any re-tune.

Rockhead · 07-25-2007, 04:11 PM

If anyone wants to buy me one im ok with that.

SNAFU · 07-25-2007, 04:30 PM

If somebody wants to buy it and let me take it for a spin I'm ok with that too.

DR-Z125L · 07-25-2007, 05:09 PM

Looks awesome, but the rear fender is weird. It like ends and then theres like an extension off of it. I donno, cool none the less

EDIT

It's just the angle, from a side view it looks fine.

650Doug · 07-25-2007, 08:16 PM

Find a rear view, those muffler's look really funky out back...

Brad_M50 · 08-03-2007, 11:18 PM

is this bike coming to north america? I thought I read only available in europe or something?

oh nevermind, it is now on suzuki canada's site, so I guess it is available here

now just have to save for one

Saw a new Z1000 at a stealership this weekend. Those "fangs" around the radiator were just plain weird.

vampyregirl · 08-14-2007, 05:17 AM

hmmmm i wonder how fast it is. i bet it can kick ass on the track. i think the styling is cool cept that id definitly remove that fender. suzuki is king!

**inspiron** · 08-14-2007, 08:55 AM

Seen it ... I wasn't impressed. A bit too wide in the front and "funky" from the back. Not my style.

gc714 · 09-02-2007, 08:26 PM

I dig it! Of coarse it's too rich for my wallet!!

Warputer · 09-02-2007, 08:33 PM
