Buell XBs have been consistently the best handling bikes I've ridden.  If this front end is an improvement over the already excellent XB front end, then this bike is going to handle like it's on rails.  Also, the belt drive is much more forgiving of engine power changes in mid-turn than a traditional chain.

Yup, not nearly as fast but in the corners it's much more fun than my GSXR

Not my thing, but if you want to give me one, well, I would wouldn't insult you by refusing it.

I like the look of it but without modern day rider aids it's definitely not worth the asking price.

I can appreciate the design details and it is interesting looking, but it is in reality nothing more than an exercise in form over function.

I'd love to see one and look it over, but it's not for me.

For what it's worth, I think it did pretty well at Pikes Peak this year.

Not what I was expecting. That said, very cool.

Interesting novelty bike. Probably wouldnt buy one but would be fun to ride for an afternoon.

Designed by Magpul, built by another company.  Sounds....familiar

Here is a video explaining the project. Hell, even the video is well put together.

Meh. I will wait for Jesse James to come out with his version. No testing done, but his will probably get 200 miles per gallon, go mach 2 and still be 200 decibels quieter than any other bike.


Magpul gave him one a few weeks back. Apparently they're neighbors in Texas.

Haven't you always had a low opinion about Magpul?

So, in others words, fun until you get off and get a look at it

Doesn't look bad overall. The front end would look less bulky and top heavy if the radiator wasn't sitting up on top of those high tech forks. Should have left it where it was.  Twisting and flexing the radiator hoses every time the handlebars or suspension moves can't be good either.
