Counterbalance the motor for a light weight frame. Think air cooled with oil cooler. Fuel injected. Most important of all set the seat height at 30 - 32 inches. Lose the belt. Look at the old XT225, weighing in at 238 pounds. 35 HP in a 300 pound Buell would be epic. Ever done 80 mph with dunlop D606 Knobbies?

Buell does not have infinite resources, but they are smart, so this is a good decision for now. And I am pleased that the air-cooled streetbikes will continue development... they are really fun rides. Well that’s OK, at least they realize where their best interests lie.

The thought of a Buell off-roader is more exciting to me than the 1125R. -todd Too bad. The thought of a Buell off-roader is more exciting to me than the 1125R.

Doesn't have to be a harley engine. I've ridden the XB12ss and it doesn't matter what anyone says, they are great fun. I like the Buells on principle.
