Is it me or does that have a really short wheel base? Nice bike, bad color.

Short wheel base indeed. I was expecting it to scroll over a lot more, was surprised at the cut off point.

Then I went 'ooh...' :righton:


Good looking bike. Would be a blast to ride I bet. Take corners like nothing.
Have fun on the open /¦\

I'd take the Daytona 675 over that, but I wouldn't turn that down.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I'll take your buell off your hands ;)


A guy at work has a speed triple, it is nice, but it just doesn't get my attention as much as a lightning XB12S. Especially in black with the yellow/gold wheels and lettering...mmmm. Just my personal opinion ;)

no. It has 1050ccs I believe.

The rocket 3 has 2300ccs... Triumph's power cruiser.

Incorrect indeed.

It is in fact 1cm longer than my Suzuki Bandit. Looks can be deceiving.
