I've seen a few pics of that... it's a nice lookin' bike.


Not sure why you said Buell in the title... the Big 4 have all sorts of naked bikes we don't get here in the states. If anything, it looked a little more like a Triumph Speed Triple.Image

meh, looks more like a lightning than a triple to me:

This Bike, the Buell Lightning, and the Triumph Speed Triple, respectively.. I say Buell.. hell the fairing has bolts in the same spot.. also, that bike is a '99-'02 SV650..er was

EDIT:: More comparable sizes^

nice bike. LOL the lightning flyscreen/headlight combo looks better on the SV LOL.

the single sided swingarm and undertail exhaust are even cooler touches.

Hmm....I think when I get my SV650 I'll do something like that to it. It's really gorgeous.

Thanks for posting the pics of the lightning... I had forgot that it had the headlight configuration like that. You're right about the Buell reference. And I agree that it's a sweet lookin' bike.
