A very unique design... esp. the headlight and fairing... and ofcourse the disc brakes too(this is the first time i saw one one like this)..
looks like a brute bike..[8D]

**pranay** · 01-13-2004, 03:48 PM

those are very nice bikes....but i prefer the first one ....iz so coooooollllll!!!!

**sandeepno1** · 01-13-2004, 03:51 PM

Its a Buell my friend, a brand from the makers of world renowned cruisers; Harley Davidson.

Please note:
1. The belt drive system implemented instead of the regular chain-drive mechanism that we normally have.
2. Buell motorcycles are known to store fuel in the hollows of the chassis!
3. Unique shape of disc brakes.

Any other things that I missed out?

well what can i say[8] am really zapped...these bike look ultimately awesome...it has all that is req in a poineering bike..esp those weird[:0] but futuristic head lamps...and those disc brakes up front[:0] have seen them on some other bike...and what i fel thet have done a great job of is that inspite of being a 1000+ cc bike it looks pretty damn sleek[}

] and the second one looks jus a lil like a triumph speed2 the head lamps i mean..and both r singles bikes no pillons[^] and also r a touch expensive...but guess what buell is well know for its build quality[

]so in all its hot

1. the Belt drive on the right side.....unlike the chain on the left...i assume the exhaust is on the left

yeah..i think thats what sandeep pointed out earlier...

**ace619** · 01-13-2004, 04:10 PM

yep sabby that is a fuel tank though not the primary tank!!it could be the reserve or something like that [^][

]....though am jus shooting in the dark.....and pranay i think u did miss a few things build quality and futuristi concepts.....plz read my post above!!

**sandeepno1** · 01-13-2004, 04:12 PM

Fuel is stored in the frame of the chassis, not too sure whats the thing between the front and rear tyres though![xx(]

I just noticed the first pic carefully and especially the belt-drive, u can see something like a circular tensioner- just below the right foot-peg, maybe its to ensure that the belt dosent get slack... again just guessing!

Well mate if u look carefully, the both the bikes have footpegs for the rider as well as pillion[:I]; also if u see the last two pics, there the seat is extended for a pillion[}

]... no gurantees that the ride will be comfortable!

**ace619** · 01-13-2004, 04:22 PM

yup, ur right it is installed to prevent slacking of the belt.
u can get it fitted on ur bikes too...but its not as big as shown in the pic. its really small.
costs abt 100-200 bucks.

That is the mass centralised muffler[xx(], the fuel tank is in the frame i.e. the grey fat band on the tank to the footpegs.[}

BTW oil is stored in the swing-arm!
