It seems that a certain client has a soft-spot for the now aging Buell XB, but has grown tired of the bike’s, um, unique styling. In order to cure that ail, Bottpower has been conscripted into a plan to give the machine a new lease on life.

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by admin.
Filed under: Motorsports , Performance , Motorcycle , Racing It’s only been a few months since Harley-Davidson officially announced the demise of Buell, but the gang at Erik Buell Racing weren’t comfortable hanging up their leathers just yet.

Looking at it, it’s easy to think this bike actually suffered no modifications whatsoever as the girder front end looks similar to the original frame and swingarm, but it completely changes the whole look of the bike. There’s actually much more to it than just the girder suspension, but little information is available and we hear we can’t really hope for a production version as this is pretty much a demonstration of power right here and not quite THE way to go big on the highly competitive market of custom motorcycles.

RK Racer Motorcycle - from Buell to chick magnet
Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Posted on 12.30.2009 11:16 by Maxx Biker Filed under: | concept bike | sportsbikes | sexy bikers | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News During the past year we’ve brought to you a lot of concept bikes that we would have loved to see heading to production and some even did, but now in the last days of 2009 we just had to post something about a concept motorcycle that we wouldn’t ever consider riding if ending up being produced. It is not that we don’t like the way it looks, but it is miles away from being comfortable or at least forgiving. Built by RK Concepts of Austin, Texas, the RK Racer is powered by a Buell 1200 V-twin engine and you have to like the way the 27-degree rake and those 23-inch tires make it look, but with the gas and oil tanks made out of glass, it sounds suicidal to ride.

So Ducati has released a video explaining the concept behind these modes, but because they wanted to keep it cheap, they use animated pencil sketches to illustrate how their systems works.
